IBAA President, Gene Portela

On December 2, 2010 the Long Island Business Aviation Association (LIBAA) held its end of the year meeting and dinner at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, NY. In spite of the busy holiday season, and the time constraints that most of us feel at this time of the year, the event was very well attended by association members and guests.

?The County of Suffolk, Francis S. Gabreski Airport, and Island Harvest are looking for your help to promote hunger awareness during the 2010 holiday season. Island Harvest is Long Island’s largest hunger relief organization.

We have one of the largest networks of business aviation service facilities and one of the most experienced and factory-trained staffs in the U.S. From engines and airframes to avionics, completions and paint, we can do it all on virtually any type of corporate aircraft in use today.
