Aero-News Quote Of The Day (05.31.04)

Aero-News: Quote of the Day

ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news, though we reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have a bearing on the day's events and issues.

Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be thought-provoking.

Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become future Quotes of the Day.

Let us hear from you, folks!

Aero-News Quote of the Day

"The NTSB said, 'You are the operators.' We had always thought that the FAA was responsible. It is kind of a really muddy deal. We always assumed that the FAA certificates were issued based on aerial firefighting conditions."

Source: National Forest Service Assistant Director For Aviation Tony Kern, speaking with the Billings (MT) Gazette. The Gazette reports liability concerns, as much as safety, were behind the grounding of 33 aerial firefighting tankers by the Forest Service when it realized it, not the FAA, had jurisdiction over the aging tankers.
