Aero-News Quote of the Day

"(S)uch overly broad and unsophisticated restrictions as the one released this (Wednesday) morning which will ground all general aviation traffic for nearly a day sends a loud and unwelcome message to the businesses based in Las Vegas and those needing to travel to Las Vegas for business. We urge you to reconsider these punitive restrictions on general aviation and work with the general aviation specialists at the TSA and FAA to craft acceptable procedures that retain the necessary security for the President while also facilitating access to one of the nation’s most important cities."
