From the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association site: General aviation and its contributions to the United States are often misunderstood or unknown, and actor, pilot, and GA advocate Harrison Ford told members of the Senate General Aviation Caucus that he is going to do his part to bring the community's efforts to the public's attention.
Caucus co-chairs Sens. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) and Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) kicked off the session explaining that GA isn't a luxury and in some cases is often a necessity. The lack of understanding of the role GA plays in the United States has placed it in jeopardy, they said.
“General aviation is in peril at times,” Begich said, naming threats like the proposed $100-per-flight user fee, a proposal that would hurt business jet depreciation schedules...
Those contributions extend far and wide.
