Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be thought-provoking.
Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become future Quotes of the Day.

Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Nearly 20 years ago, with the announcement of ANN, I was told that our initial concept of a 24/7/365 news network was lunacy… that it would never work or be able to support itself. In that two decade span, the ever-innovative ANN and its sister programs/organizations have generated a model that has been copied again and again (though not always very well) and often by those who have ignored the fact that each and everything they’ve done was done first by the committed staff that helped birth ANN – and in that time, we have created over 200,000 stories, 7000 Aero-Cast/Podcasts, hundreds of live Aero-TV segments, 2000 Aero-TV programs, nearly 400 episodes of Airborne – all while introducing concepts like Daily Aviation News, Daily Aero-Casts, Daily Aero-TV and LIVE Special Event programming long before anyone else."
Source: ANN CEO and Editor-In-Chief, Jim Campbell, in remarks made as part of his most recent 'Barnstorming' editorial, describing a vast new initiative on the part of Aero-News and many, many important players/partners in the aviation universe (which we call the 'Aero-Verse').
