General Aviation’s Impact on Iowa (with Video)
August 12th, 2009 | 
Author: I have usually made a point not to report on aviation news on this site. There are many other great places to get that kind of information but there was a headline that made it into my inbox today and I just couldn’t resist to share it with you. We all know how badly general aviation has been hurt by our current economic situation and we also know how badly general aviation has been attacked by not only politicians but by other aviation industries as well. That is why this headline and report was so interesting to me. The headline? “DOT issues report on aviation impact” which came to me via AOPA’s eBrief news service and RadioIowa.com
The Iowa Department of Transportation and the Office of Aviation just released their “2009 Economic Impact Report”. In this report they detail how the aviation industry has a 5.4 Billion dollar impact on that state. Even more interesting is that general aviation accounts for nearly 88% of the aviation activity…88%! That’s incredible!
