[JYO] General Aviation Lost Revenue report for Congress.. FEEDBACK request

Next week, AOPA will be providing testimony to the US Congress on the impact 
of this tragedy on the general aviation industry.  In preparation, we are 
seeking your feedback.  We will also use the information we receive from you 
to continue our lobbying effort on the National Security Council to lift the 
grounding on VFR operations.  
 
We would appreciate hearing from you, VERY SPECIFICALLY, how the grounding of 
GA operations is affecting your airport - e.g.  xxx number of layoffs, FBO 
closing his/her doors, businesses losing xx in revenue every week and so on.  
It is very important that the items we receive can be quantified - much like 
the airlines have indicated they will lose $300 million/day.  We've received 
1 report that the a privately owned airport is now up for sale due to the 
loss of revenue.  These are the types of examples we are looking for so that 
Phil can demonstrate to members of Congress how these events are having a 
devasting effect on our industry.

Please be brief and to the point.


Example:

Joe's Aerial Photo Business..  Normally $500/day x 9 days = $4500 lost
Joe Smith, Owner - Leesburg Airport - 703-555-1234  joesmith@xxxxxxxxxxxx



Thanks,

Ed
