Aero-News Quote of the Day

“We are in awe of the generosity of our supporters this year... It is heartening to know so many people still understand and appreciate the importance of keeping these iconic aircraft flying to continue to tell the stories of those who fought for our freedom during World War II. We have several very deserving projects to support this year and I am so pleased at the level of participation from our supporters across the country, and across the world.”
