Previous Issue’s Winner
Marko Nenadovic
How long have you been in the current industry?
I have been in the aerospace industry for 32 years, this includes both Space and Defense.
How did you become interested in aircraft?
My Dad, who was a POW and WWII Veteran, had a great love for aircraft and would always take me to local air shows and talk about his experiences. He started my love and interest in aircraft. From that, I joined the U.S. Air Force and later transferred into the U.S. Navy, and have never wanted to be in any other industry. I simply love aircraft and enjoy supporting the aerospace industry.
What is your favorite aircraft?
Believe it or not, I have two: the 1945 F4U-5 Corsair and the Douglas Skyraider AD-4. Go Navy!
ATTENTION PAST WINNERS!
Where do you display your airplane? Send us a picture of you and the model airplane you won for having the correct answer to the Name that Plane contest and you may be featured in a future issue. E-mail your high resolution photo to: Matthew Grasson at mgrasson@gie.net.
*Contestants may not win the first place prize more than once throughout the duration of the contest, and may only win consolation prizes once per calendar year. Due to the unpredictable nature of postal delivery, prizes will be determined by random drawing from all correct answers received, after a three week waiting period from the issue’s mailing date. The first drawing will name the 1st place winner, followed by four consecutive drawings for consolation prizes. Please send comments or feedback regarding the contest to Matt Grasson, mgrasson@gie.net
