Name that Plane

Aug/Sept 2017 winner

Jim Garrett, Vice President of Operations, REBTECH, Bedford, Texas

How long have you been in the aerospace business?

I started in the business of avionics/autopilot repair in 1966.

How did you become interested in aircraft?

My father was a bomber pilot in WWII flying the B-29, B-17, and B-25. He kept a strong interest in everything aviation, and passed it on to me.

What is your favorite aircraft?

B-25. I really like the look of sheer power (especially head-on), and it was my dad’s favorite airplane to fly. The history of the aircraft in WWII, from the Doolittle Raid onward, is impressive.
