March winner

Mark Beaulieu, Mechanical Engineer, Electroimpact Inc., Mukilteo, Washington

How long have you been in the aerospace business?

I started working in aerospace manufacturing in 2004.

How did you become interested in aircraft?

Starting at an early age, I read a lot about airplanes and model airplanes. At the age of 14, I asked for a remote control airplane for Christmas. Dad and I visited a hobby store where we realized that the amount we had budgeted was not going to go as far as I thought. Dad offered to get me a basic model airplane or some flight lessons instead. I opted for the flight lessons, soloed on my 16th birthday, and got my license a year later.

What is your favorite aircraft (and why)?

Here are a few: The B-17 Flying Fortress and the A10 Warthog because they both can take a beating in combat and keep on flying. Also the Cessna 152, because it is the first airplane I ever flew.
