NBAA Continues to Promote the Message: No Plane No Gain
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, 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 most recent efforts online at:

Reach Business Aviation's Most Active Purchasers of Products and Services
From October 20 to 22 in Orlando, FL, NBAA's 62nd Annual Meeting & Convention (NBAA2009) will provide a premier venue for putting business aviation
products and services in front of thousands of customers in one place, at one time, saving companies time and money. Survey results show that a high
percentage of those attending the NBAA Convention are decision-makers who can influence the purchasing process, such as by having the final say on a
purchase, specifying a supplier or recommending products and services for purchase. NBAA Members are the industry's most active purchasers of
products and services, and your company shouldn't miss this unique opportunity to gain face-to-face interaction with prospective customers. To learn

Who's Exhibiting at NBAA2009? Companies Just Like
Yours
For hundreds of NBAA Members, the Association's Annual Meeting & Convention remains a must-have on the marketing calendar, even in these tough
economic times. For example, Rocky Mountain Propellers says the Convention has been a major contributor to its success for more than a decade. With
only nine employees at the Erie, CO business, the Convention enables Rocky Mountain Propellers to reach out and build the business in a way that
would be impossible to do solely from their small operation. "Between the customers we pick up there and the word-of-mouth that sends new customers
to us while we're there, over the years our business has continued to pick up, and a lot of that has to do with the show," said company spokeswoman
Nancy Todoverto. Learn more:
