The President Should Champion G.A.

Aviation has been my life for 36 years. At the age of 16, I began flying, like many people, for the pure freedom and exhilaration of it. Since that time, I've been an air traffic controller in the USAF, worked in the space tracking system, and now support corporate aviation on a daily basis. The Obama administration and many in Congress want to use my industry as a way to profit. This is not the government's role. Instead of criticizing our industry and changing the way we pay for our aviation system, the administration should be championing what we do. And what we do is better than any country in the world. Aviation and Aerospace are two of our countries premier assets! What is he thinking?
