Aviation Officially Recognized By All 50 U.S. States

All 50 U.S. states have officially recognized the importance of aviation, and general aviation in particular, the Alliance for Aviation Across America announced. Except for Montana, which issued a letter, all have issued statewide proclamation through either the governor’s office or the state legislature. Most recently, the California Senate and Assembly issued proclamations of California Aviation Awareness Day. Just five years ago, virtually no states had issued statewide proclamations; now many states have begun issuing these proclamations annually. The Alliance is working with many counties and cities to pass proclamations at the local level.
