As President Obama made the rounds in Iowa during his Midwestern bus tour earlier this week, hundreds of general aviation advocates gathered in the state to send a political message of their own, one that fought back against the administration’s recent criticism of aviation tax breaks.
The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) organized a rally on Wednesday in partnership with Rockwell Collins and Goodrich Corp., two GA companies with operations in Iowa. In addition to the hundreds of workers and state and local officials in attendance, several members of Congress were also present.
