ON AUGUST 17,1994. President Bill Clinton signed the General Aviation Revitalization Act (GARA). AOPA President Phil Boyer was at the president's desk. GARA's impact on general aviation continues to be debated, but what's not in dispute is that the major manufacturers of the day restarted single-engine aircraft production after its passage. This and other stories can be found in Freedom to Fly: AOPA and the History of General Aviation in America, published by AOPA on the occasion of its eightieth anniversary. Buy it online for $39.95.
