Aero-News Quote of the Day

“This is a tribute to all of you in general aviation who took the time to make yourself heard. Thanks to the unified fight by the GA community, this bill was not going to pass with ATC privatization as part of it. We can now move ahead with what we have maintained all along – modernization, not privatization. We can fund the FAA long-term and let the agency continue with its already progressing modernization efforts."
