Well before Sun ‘n Fun 2025, a remarkable thing happened. The large and small of aviation got together to request the administration grant special handling for aircraft in the Tariff Wars. Giants like GAMA, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association and small organizations like LAMA, the Light Aircraft Manufacturers Association joined forces to make the tariff exemption request. Wish them luck! You may benefit. If you think a GAMA/LAMA joint initiative is an unusual request, you may have missed that aircraft and aircraft parts are often exempted from these sorts of political power plays. The whole world recognizes the value of aviation. Yet compared to cars, computers, steel, or oil, aircraft and aircraft parts represent a modest percentage of the global marketplace. Since it is important yet relatively small, it has frequently received special handling. At Sun ‘n Fun a remarkable thing repeated. Again, leaders got together, but this time it was to discuss and explain Mosaic.
