Aero-News Quote of the Day

"The perception of private aviation as all champagne and caviar is wrong. Many of our aircraft have such small cabins you can’t stand up in them, but they do connect city pairs which scheduled airlines do not... Around 10% of business jets flying are air ambulances. One leading London Stansted FBO handled 85 medical repatriations last year. We have King Airs, Pilatus PC-12 turboprops repositioning crew; delivering AOG parts for stricken airlines or cruise lines."
