Last Friday, AeroShell Square was ringed with some of the
best-known business aircraft flying, as EAA President Tom
Poberezny, GAMA President Pete Bunce, FAA Administrator Randy
Babbitt, and a parade of professionals brought the message of
business aviation to the worlds largest sport aviation show.
That message is jobs, and that business aviation has been
unfairly pilloried by Congress and the Obama Administration. The
issue was pushed into the spotlight when automakers flew into
Washington on corporate jets for Congressional hearings, and has
been taking hits ever since. GAMA assembled a lineup of corporate
leaders to bring a positive business aviations message to the
Oshkosh crowd, and the industry media.
After some industry luminaries spoke supportively of an industry
that was condemned by our erstwhile elected leaders, the crowd
heard from business people who depend on BizAv to keep their
companies going, keep their staff employed and put them where
they need to be when and where business has to be done.
One of these business leaders was none than Racing Legend Jack
Roush. Roush made it clear, in NO uncertain terms... without his
bizplanes, he could NOT have built the enterprises he has, and
be as competitive as he so obviously is -- and when we say
"competitive" remember who we're talking about... Jack Roush has
virtually redefined the term. Hey Washington... are you listening?
.
Over this week, we'll hear from Tom Poberezny, Pete Bunce, Randy
Babbitt, Jack Roush, Marion Blakey and others... all in defense of
a much maligned industry that is and continues to be a critical
part of this nation's transportation infrastructure.
