How long have you been in the current industry?
36years
How did you become interested in aircraft?
Building models and attending airshows – it has been a pleasure to have my personal hobbies carry over into my professional career.
What is your favorite aircraft?
My favorite aircraft is the English Electric Lightning – one of the most daring high performance designs to come out of the Cold War. I still get chills when remembering the maximum performance take-off run – just a quick roll with both afterburners and then straight up until it is out of sight!
*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
