Aero-News Quote of the Day

“The national parks should be available for all visitors to see. Eliminating flights over the park unfairly limits the ability of the elderly, very young, disabled, and others to experience the park. Limiting flights over the parks is discriminating to those who might not have the time, resources, or physical ability to see the park any other way. Freedom to choose a visitation method should be preserved.”
