Helicopter Association International and other leaders of the Alliance for Aviation Across America are applauding New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch for declaring March “General Aviation Appreciation Month” in that state.

“The helicopter’s unique capabilities provide lifesaving services to the citizens of New Hampshire, along with many other missions conducted on behalf of the greater good,” said HAI President Matt Zuccaro. “We thank Governor Lynch for his leadership and this opportunity to spotlight the economic and operational benefits that the helicopter and general aviation provide to the people of this great state.”

Zuccaro joined fellow leaders of the Alliance for Aviation Across America in praising the governor’s March 16 declaration, including the heads of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, the National Business Aviation Association, the National Association of State Aviation Officials and the National Air Transport Association. Zuccaro recently joined the Alliance’s board of directors.

The aviation leaders noted that general aviation alone drives over $639 million in economic activity and supports over 8,000 jobs across New Hampshire. “General aviation is a critical lifeline for businesses, law enforcement, charities, medical organizations and farmers across New Hampshire and the entire United States,” said Selena Shilad, executive director of the Alliance for Aviation Across America.
