The general aviation community lost a “fierce advocate” with the November 24 passing of Selena Shilad, the executive director of the Alliance for Aviation Across America (AAAA). Shilad, who was 45, died after a brief illness.

She joined the Alliance after it was formed in 2007 and was promoted to executive director within a year, holding that role until she passed on Friday.
