Ever since that fateful December day in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, when mankind first soared free above terra firma, aviation has motivated people all around the world to aspire to a brighter future. Inspired by the seemingly limitless potential of flight and driven by the desire to live the American dream, entrepreneurs ventured their fortunes developing the next generation of aviation products that in due course have benefited humanity. This process spawned the U.S. aviation industry which has grown to be the foremost world leader responsible for developing innovative and highly efficient new products with capabilities unparalleled in human history.

Today, general aviation is a fundamental and necessary component of a healthy global economic system. General aviation provides gainful employment to over 1.2 million highly skilled aviation professionals who live, work, raise families, pay taxes and ultimately, like previous generations before them, aspire to realize their American dreams. In addition, it contributes $150 billion to the U.S. economic output.

As you are all well aware, the industry has come under heavy fire over the past eighteen months. NAFA is pleased to launch this page dedicated to Industry Advocacy, as we remain committed to supporting and defending general aviation. We encourage you to visit these informative and educational links and hope that this will give you, our esteemed colleagues, the resources you need to defend this vital global industry.
