Build A Plane Attracts Aviation and Business Leaders

Build A Plane, a nonprofit organization that works in a formal partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration to promote aviation education, recently announced its newest advisory board members. New members include Ed Bolen, president and CEO of the National Business Aviation Association, Peter Bunce, president and CEO of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, Bruce Landsberg, executive director of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association's Air Safety Foundation, Matthew Desch, chairman and CEO of Iridium Satellite LLC and James Lauerman, president of Avemco Insurance Company.
Currently, Lyn Freeman, founder of Riverside, Calif.-based Build A Plane, says more than 60 Build A Plane programs exist in the U.S., with other programs established in Nigeria and India. He said the number of high schools in the U.S. applying to receive aircraft projects are on a waiting list; the demand is greater than the supply.
