Back NATA News / July 7, 2026

NATA President and CEO Curt Castagna, and Vice President of Government Affairs Karen Huggard will represent NATA at a General Aviation Town Hall this Saturday at Gould Peterson Memorial Airport (K57) in Tarkio, Missouri. Moderated by House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO), the Town Hall brings together general aviation leaders and Members of Congress in a unique setting to discuss the state of the industry, connect with local aviation enthusiasts, and celebrate general aviation at the Wing Nuts Flying Circus Air Show.

NATA’s summer outreach will continue at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, where Curt and Karen will engage with government and industry leaders on key issues affecting aviation businesses, including the transition to unleaded aviation gasoline. As industry co-chair of the Eliminate Aviation Gasoline Lead Emissions initiative, Curt will continue advancing NATA’s message that the transition must be safe, smart, orderly, and grounded in operational realities for airports, FBOs, pilots, and aircraft owners.

NATA looks forward to engaging directly with members and stakeholders at these important industry events.
