NBAA Advocacy Efforts Continue on Nationwide Scale
Business aviation plays a vital role for citizens, companies and communities across the United States. Educating the public about this fact is the
central idea behind No Plane No Gain, a comprehensive advocacy initiative for the business aviation community. Sponsored by NBAA and the General
Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), No Plane No Gain uses a multifaceted media approach to remind policymakers and opinion leaders that
business aviation produces more than a million jobs, provides a lifeline to communities across the U.S. without airline service, helps companies be
more productive and efficient, and provides support for humanitarian efforts. Learn more about the campaign's recent efforts online at:

NBAA Convention Named Fifth-Largest Trade Show in United States
Tradeshow Week recently announced that the NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention rose to the fifth position in its rankings of largest trade
shows in the United States for 2008, which serves as a testament to the 1.2 million jobs and the $150 billion that the business aviation industry
contributes to the nation's economy; the thousands of Attendees and Exhibitors who participate at the annual event; and the NBAA Members themselves
who help the Convention thrive. "Especially in these difficult economic times, companies need the Annual Meeting & Convention to help maximize
the use of their most important assets: people and time," said NBAA Senior Vice President, Conventions, Seminars & Forums Kathleen Blouin. "In
this competitive environment, our Members and our Exhibitors should take advantage of the Convention to maintain relationships with their existing
customers, and to discover new opportunities in the marketplace." Learn more about this year's Convention online at:

operate. NBAA's Business Aviation Regional Forums are designed to meet the local needs of these businesses by providing a venue for exchanging
information about specific airport policies, environmental protocols, safety and security proposals, taxation and other issues. At the same time,
these events offer an opportunity to underscore the importance of the industry to local leaders in business and government. Upcoming Regional Forums
will be held in St. Paul, MN on June 24 and Las Vegas, NV on September 10. Learn more about exhibiting and sponsorship opportunities at:

now soliciting donations for this year's Silent and Live Auctions, such as aviation-themed items of interest. For more information, contact NBAA's
