‘Better times will return’
AOPA President Craig Fuller on Feb. 21 told pilots gathered at the Northwest Aviation Conference in Puyallup, Wash., that the general aviation industry is ready and able to rebound once the broader economy pulls out of the current downturn. Delivering the keynote address to well over 600 attendees, Fuller said, “What we must do now is prepare for the economic turnaround.”
