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

"I think right now the demand for the capability that the unmanned system provides is only increasing. Even as the surge ends, I suspect the deployment of the unmanned systems will not go down, particularly for larger systems."

Source: Army Col. Bob Quackenbush, deputy director for Army Aviation, commenting on the increase in operations by unmanned aerial vehicles in combat zones in 2007. UAVs have accumulated over 500,000 flight hours to date... and, as the military increasingly relies on such vehicles to perform hazardous duties once reserved for manned aircraft, that number will only go up.
