Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Our team could not work with the changing contest dates or venues which made it impossible to ship planes nor could they arrange to have a coach present at the contest. One by one our team members left the team feeling discouraged. I've asked the IAC's CIVA delegate, Mike Gallaway to express our profound disappointment and feelings of discouragement at the next CIVA plenary, and to protest the transformation of what should be a world event into an event that is run entirely by and for teams from continental Europe. My thanks to everyone on the U.S. Team for the amazing effort they put forward this year. They may not find a place on the podium but they served their country well."
Source: Part of a statement made by IAC President Jim Bourke, after weeks of turmoil by those supposedly responsible for the World Advanced Aerobatic Championships and reports of all manner of problems -- as a result, the US Team has withdrawn from the event.
