Governor Perry Proclaims November “Aviation Appreciation Month”

December 5, 2012

Texas Governor Rick Perry proclaimed November 2012 to be Aviation Appreciation Month, noting “General Aviation and related activities generated $14.6 billion in direct, indirect and induced economic activity in the state of Texas, representing $580 in activity per capita.” This is the third year that Governor Perry has recognized that aviation is vital to the Texas economy.

“The Texas aviation industry is a critical component of our economy and our way of life,” Perry also noted in his proclamation. “It brings families together, transports essential cargo to businesses, helps to control pests that can wreck havoc on crops and performs a variety of other vital functions.”
