It Was Business Aviation Day At Oshkosh... But Its Business Aviation WEEK At Aero-TV!

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. "Business Aviation is strong," Bunce declared at the top of the news conference. "It is spurring the recovery."

Bunce added that GAMA has reinstated the "No Plane, No Gain" campaign to tell the story of how business aviation affects the economy. "General Aviation serves America," he said, and it's all about creating a tremendous number of jobs.

Over the next few days, 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.
