Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Now, on the evening of New Year’s Eve, just five days before the C-Band spectrum will be deployed, we received [FAA] letter asking us to take still more voluntary steps - to the detriment of our millions of consumer, business and government customers - to once again assist the aviation industry and the FAA after failing to resolve issues in that costly 30-day delay period, which we never considered to be an initial one."
