ANN's

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

Let us hear from you, folks!
Aero-News Quote of the Day
"There is no good reason that
protective security measures, adopted by TSA and approved by NSA
and other agencies, cannot be put in place to reopen DCA to most of
general aviation. I believe that with proper procedures, training,
communication and coordination we can outsmart the terrorists and
restore jobs, economic activity and general aviation both in our
Capitol's airport and across our nation. Industry has yet to
receive any indication as to whether their proposals for security
procedures at DCA are even considered."
Source: Congressman John Mica (R-FL), Chairman
of the House Aviation Subcommittee, at Thursday's hearings on why
the Capitol and Supreme Court had to be evacuated last month. While
dubious of the answers he got from the FAA, DHS and NORAD, Mica
blasted beaurocrats for failing to reopen Reagan National Airport
to general aviation traffic.
