October 2024 winner:
Luis Suarez, Manufacturing Engineer, C&S Propeller, Fort Worth, Texas
How long have you been in the aerospace business? 3 years.
How did you become interested in aircraft? Since I was a kid and would see aircraft taking off from a nearby military base during recess.
What is your favorite aircraft and why? My favorite aircraft is the Lockheed C-130 just because it’s a plane I grew up watching it fly and now I get to work on its propellers.
