Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Over the course of a few days, we talked to a number of aviators... black, white, male, female, gay, straight, young, old, civilian and military and no matter our backgrounds and experiences, I have to tell you that the aviation world could not possibly be in better shape, "spiritually." Based on all those I talked to... sometimes on frank and difficult subjects... and in the aura of one of the most positive events in aviation, we saw solid evidence that while the times may be hard, the entire community of flyers -- of any sex, race, background, preference, experience or persuasion -- looks forward to seeing their dreams for aviation flourish... and through them, they might do just that."
