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
In just a few minutes, as I write this, the responsibility for
running the world's largest pilots organization passes from Phil
Boyer to Craig Fuller. And while we feel the selection of Fuller to
be an inspired one, full of promise, and one that seems especially
suited for the years ahead, we have to admit that we're going to
miss working with Boyer. He was more than good at his job, he has
been a ball to work with.
So… Phil Boyer retires, and
while we hope this means everything that he personally wants it to
mean for him and his family, we doubt he'll be a
stranger. Knowing of his deep love for aviation, and his
commitment to the world of GA, I have no doubt we'll be hearing
from him again and again… which can only benefit us all.
So here's to Phil Boyer… The
Aero-News Network's unanimous selection as our 'Aero-Hero of 2008'
and one of the best friends general aviation has ever had

year.
