November is Aviation Appreciation Month!

January 18, 2018

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has proclaimed November as Aviation Appreciation Month. In his declaration, Governor Abbott stated “The Texas aviation industry is critical to our economy and way of life. It brings families together; transports business executives to important meetings; delivers essential cargo; provides life-saving evacuation, police search and rescue, utility grid and oil pipeline inspections and border protection; and it helps control pests that wreak havoc on farmer’s crops.”

Governor Abbot also encouraged “all Texans to learn more about aviation and to recognize the contributions of the hardworking professionals who work in all sectors of the aviation industry.”
