Washington, DC, October 11, 2000 – The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has established 24 new Air Mail lists to allow Association Members to discuss issues related to specific business aircraft and engine series. Established in 1997, NBAA Air Mail is a series of e-mail mailing lists, or “user groups,” set aside for collaboration and discussion on topics of interest to business aircraft operators.

“Air Mail has always leveraged the wealth of knowledge available within the NBAA Membership,” said David Almy, NBAA vice president, strategic programs. “These new lists will enable Members to share years of hands-on operational experience.”

NBAA Members can subscribe to the new lists at the Air Mail section of NBAA’s Web site at www.nbaa.org/airmail.

For fixed-wing aircraft, the new lists are: Airbus, Beechjet, Boeing, Challenger, Citation, Falcon, Galaxy, Gulfstream, Hawker, King Air, Learjet, MU-2, Pilatus, Piper and Sabreliner. The new lists for helicopters are Aerospatiale, Bell and S-76, and the new lists for engines are JT15D, PT6, PW300, TFE731 and TPE331.

NBAA Members interested in Air Mail lists about aircraft or engine models not listed above may contact NBAA Webmaster Jason Wolf to recommend new list topics. For more information, contact Wolf at (202) 783-9457 or jwolf@nbaa.org.

NBAA represents the aviation interests of over 6,200 companies which own or operate general aviation aircraft as an aid to the conduct of their business, or are involved with business aviation. NBAA Member Companies earn annual revenues approaching $5 trillion — a number that is about half the gross domestic product — and employ more than 19 million people worldwide. The NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention is the world’s largest display of civil aviation products and services.
