Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We support reopening Reagan National Airport to general aviation but most of our members are just trying to get closer to Reagan National so they can use one of the GA airports in the capital area!"

Source: AOPA President Phil Boyer testifying before Congress Tuesday afternoon on the issue of reopening the Ronald Reagan International to general aviation aircraft. At the hearing on permitting GA flights into the airport (held in the Signature Flight Support hangar), Boyer said that it is also time to rescind the Baltimore-Washington air defense identification zone (ADIZ) and once again permit GA pilots to access the national capital area.
