*** PREVIOUS RESULTS ***
Last week, we polled AVweb readers about the missing funds that were supposed to
be allocated to General Aviation in the wake of 9/11. Almost 40% of you thought the government
pulled the rug out from under legitimate businesses, but another 33% said simply that it was "business as usual" in Washington.
*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
This week, we would like to know your thoughts on the GA economy.
The General Aviation Manufacturer's Association (GAMA)
said recently in a news release that positive growth in GA aircraft deliveries,
especially in the fourth quarter, "is an early indicator of a broader turnaround
in all segments of general aviation." Manufacturers believe a provision in last
year's tax bill, commonly known as "bonus depreciation," stimulated many of last
year's aircraft orders, Jones said. What do
you think the statistical upturn means?
