Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We COULD have recognized only one of these guys, and justifiably so; it's far more gratifying, however, to recognize them all -- for just as the Allied nations battled the Axis in WWII, these guys are all fighting for the greater good of general aviation. The only difference is that, they -- and their organizations -- approach those same battles from different angles."

Coyne and the EAA's Tom Poberezny -- the "Alphabet Association Gurus" -- for their combined contributions to the greater good of general aviation.
