This is what my husband often says about our part in the state of General Aviation in America. We are so lucky that we live in a country that allows us to take off and fly. We don't even have to tell anyone where we are going.
However, GA has come under attack recently and there are people out there (GASP) who would like to take away our ability to fly. Well, despite the cost and future headaches of owning a small plane, I am glad we made it to the circus before they closed the Big Top. I am enjoying the ride.
Thankfully there are names out there much bigger than mine that understand the importance of GA to our country. Thankfully there are people like Harrison Ford who are willing to stand up for his beliefs.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) has kicked off a campaign to alert the rest of the country about how important GA is to many small businesses. They created the Harrison Ford spot and the other spots are just as good. Check out their website at GA Serves America. Get involved.
