In the mid- to late 1970s general aviation was experiencing its peak, a period in which aircraft were selling as fast as the manufacturers could produce them and ex-GIs were cashing in on veteran’s benefits to learn to fly. It was clear to Bill Giannetti, president of Flightstar, and partner Chip Hussey that general aviation, and particularly business aviation, was growing at a fast pace.
