Aviation Deliveries

Despite the worldwide economic downturn, the General Aviation Manufacturers

Association President and CEO, Pete Bunce, stated in GAMA’s first quarter

report, “The reality is that the U.S. general aviation industry leads the world in

balance of trade. We will continue to work with governments around the world to

recognize that general aviation can play a key role in propelling the economic

recovery.” Below is a comparison of first quarter 2009 shipments to first quarter
