Guest Editorial: By René Banglesdorf The private aviation industry is an often misunderstood and under-valued resource of the American economy. Without it, many of the best companies in the country wouldn’t be half as productive as they are.
It was all over the news when the Big Three car manufacturers were lambasted for flying private jets to attend Congressional hearings, but the vast majority of Americans weren’t privy to the reasons for the CEO’s method of travel. It saddens me that the very people who jump on the bandwagon to attack private aviation are the ones who have the most to lose.

westward, taking pictures, ecological measurements, and gathering material for a book. You may have read he landed in Antarctica. Well, he did, but that is so six days ago. Now he has landed on Easter Island after a 15-hour, 2,000 nautical mile flight at 150 knots. He’s zigzagging all over the place and has already flown enough miles to circle the globe, but he is only halfway. When he is done he will have flown the lightest aircraft ever (640 pounds) around the world to the west, have a record gas mileage (he is getting 28 statute miles per gallon), and have his 12th book. He is measuring soot in the air every inch of the way, and intentionally detouring to fresh water sites to show the world that water, not oil, may be our real crisis. Is it all going smoothly?

Great views but a lot frustration as I was not confident with engine run and had a strong smell of fuel when I opened the window. “
