Mission aviation will be on the world stage at AirVenture 2009. Each year, the EAA selects three aspects of aviation to be featured at the “world’s largest aviation celebration.” In 2009, humanitarian aviation will be in the spotlight. The overall feature is comprised of mission aviation and public benefit aviation (PBA). The EAA desires to “showcase the breadth and depth of good works accomplished by general aviation throughout the world.” Public benefit aviation includes the people and organizations (such as the Air Care Alliance) who are dedicated to community service.
