Name that Plane

JAN/FEB 2020 winner:

Nathan Buchanan, Tooling/Electrode Design Engineer, Graphel Corp., West Chester, Ohio

How long have you been in the aerospace business? 23 years

How did you become interested in aircraft? I have had a slight obsession with aircraft and aircraft engines since I was a toddler. Something about how a man-made object can fly in the air and at such great speeds just blows my mind.

What is your favorite aircraft and why? The PBY-5 Catalina. There’s something about that high-sitting wing and the engines that just makes it a great-looking plane.

Nicholas Mohr, Operations Engineering Manager, Gulfstream Aerospace Corp., Savannah, Georgia

William Ress, Owner High Sierra Microwave, Camino, California
