WASHINGTON, DC, July 13, 2004 – Today, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) unveiled its web-based Media Guide to General Aviation and Its Airplanes. The purpose of the Media Guide is to serve as an electronic resource for quick and easy research on general aviation facts and statistics including shipment and billing information.

“GAMA has created the Media Guide to serve as a research tool for the media and others seeking timely information about our industry. It is our hope that it will prove useful whenever questions arise about general aviation airplanes, manufacturers, or industry information,” said GAMA President & CEO, Ed Bolen.

The Media Guide includes detailed information on nearly every airplane model since 1946 including range and speed information, the total number of airplanes shipped to date, and date of certification by the Federal Aviation Administration. Photos are available for leading current production models.

The Media Guide also features general interest sections including a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section, a glossary of GA terms, industry facts and statistics, and profiles on GAMA manufacturers – including press contacts for each company.

The Media Guide is available on GAMA’s website, www.GAMA.aero. From the main navigation menu, select “Media Center” and click on “Media Guide”.
