Spring 2014 a View from Our President Governor Walker Signs Newsletter of the Watertown, Madison, & Dodge County FBOs Spring 2014 Volume 31, No. 2 ANCE TEN AIN M A View Governor Walker Signs Bill Saving Aircraft from Our Owners on Repairs President Pilots and aircraft owners in Wisconsin could realize significant savings The Dead of Winter on aircraft maintenance under a new law signed on April 3 by Governor Scott Walker at Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation’s Appleton facility. I don’t think I have to tell anyone how “hard” our winter The law, Senate Bill 348, provides a sales tax exemption for parts and has been. I use the term “hard” because, although labor used in maintenance on any aircraft. The Wisconsin Assembly it has been a very long, cold, snowy winter, which passed the bill on an outstanding 93 to 0 vote on March 20. The bill was makes it “hard” to be in the aviation business, there are introduced in an attempt to keep aircraft owners from traveling across undoubtedly readers that like and enjoyed the “hard” state lines to one of 36 other states who already have exemptions. winter. The vast majority of our acquaintances did not appreciate the way Mother Nature treated us, and As of July 1, Wisconsin Aviation can pass these savings on to its invariably we were asked how badly it affected us—or customers. Jeff Baum, President of Wisconsin Aviation, was present at more bluntly, “I’ll bet this winter just killed you.” the signing ceremonies and commented, as quoted on MidwestFlyer.com, Well, we’re still alive. The winter was tough—tough on Continued page 3 equipment, tough on people, tough on schedules, tough on heating bills! It was brutal, but with a dedicated staff, we persevered. Our poor line staffs took the brunt of nature’s onslaught but won the day [and were duly rewarded (?) with “I survived the Polar Vortex” T-shirts]. Our charter pilots maintained their schedules and many times rescued those left stranded by the airlines. Maintenance stayed busy and folks kept buying airplanes, including a Citation Encore, which was just added to our fleet! We lost good friends, some of our partners had babies, and our State government passed beneficial legislation. We hosted exciting events, flew to great places and, best of all, enjoyed our great customers. Yes, the weather was awful, but even in the dead of winter, the aviation business was alive and well, waiting for spring! Now let’s all get flying. Thanks for reading.
