Aero-News Quote of the Day

Source: Tom Polley, general manager, Ray's Flying Club. The non-profit organization and its 120 members have been fighting with Fullerton (CA) Municipal Airport for five years over fees and safety issues. The airport recently won the battle to evict Ray's and the court attached both Ray's assets and its aircraft.
