Pete Bunce retired in April after leading the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) as president and CEO for 20 years. His GAMA service capped an illustrious career that included 26 years with the U.S. Air Force, where he flew F-15s and A-10s. His last assignment was as the director of the Air Force Congressional Budget and Appropriations liaison. While at GAMA, the association expanded its international reach with an office added in Brussels, as well as its scope with new categories of members. He also played instrumental roles in countless pressing issues, from user fees to certification reforms. He spoke with AIN about his time with the association.
