Aero-News Quote of the Day

"What is most troubling about this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is that the FAA is proposing to make permanent the ADIZ without addressing the necessary operational concerns to ease the burden on pilots and air traffic controllers. Public Law 108-176 'Vision 100 — Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act,' required that the FAA provide Congress with justifications for the ADIZ every 60 days, which were to include proposed changes to improve operations. To my knowledge, we are still waiting for these justifications."

Source: US Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), suggesting that the FAA's plan to make the Washington ADIZ permanent isn't only wrong -- it may be illegal.
