The Aero-News Staff Needs A Break Too

As we get into the early part of next week, we'll all pause to celebrate the independence of our nation from Great Britain. It has been a tumultuous year, to say the least. So here in the early part of the summer, it's a good time to take a break, and a breath, and reflect on the great nation in which we live.

To that end, the Aero-News staff will be taking a brief pause as well. On our website, you'll find some fewer stories on Monday and Tuesday than you might expect otherwise. But we'll be back to a full complement of stories on Wednesday.

Similarly, Airborne will be hangared for a couple of days. We'll take Monday and Tuesday off, but be right back providing you the coverage of the Aero-world you've come to expect on Wednesday.

We hope you'll have an opportunity to spend some time with your family and friends this July 4th Holiday, and enjoy some fireworks wherever you may live (ours are shot out over the Atlantic Ocean from the beaches of North Florida, ed.)

Again, if you just have to have an Aero-fix over the next few days, we'll be here for you. And Airborne will return on Wednesday. Happy July 4th everyone.

Just be sure to remember why we celebrate.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
