Aero-News: Quote of the Day
ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news,
though we reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have
a bearing on the day's events and issues.
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.
Let us hear from you, folks!
Aero-News Quote of the Day
"This directive basically shuts down all general
aviation on the entire island of Oahu and - specifically names
sightseeing tours and flight training. We are a very small
operation with my wife and I basically doing almost everything
seven days a week and we are usually off one day for Thanksgiving
and one day for Christmas. That is two days a year off and we
cannot afford to take two weeks off over a potentially busy
holiday. 9/11 taught all of us that the airlines are the size of
equipment that can cause damage, and in subsequent incident a
training type aircraft flew into the 15th floor of a building and
simply broke a window and killed only the pilot. It might be a lot
safer if all the airlines were shut down and the smaller aircraft
to fly."

Pat and Debbie Magie, discussing the massive TFR that will
envelop the island of Oahu when the President comes to vacation
there... for nearly two weeks, starting December 23rd.
