BBBBBuuuuuussssssiiiiiiinnnnnnneeeeeeessssssssThe Real Faces ofAviationby Dianne WhiteWho are the people using business aviation? Most of them are not running Fortune 100 companies or flying to exotic locations for opulent off-site retreats. Instead, they are the ones who are turning the gears of America’s economy.The owners of these companies are flying to meet face-to-face with clients or using their aircraft to bring customers to their facilities. They are moving employees quickly to help victims of floods or fires recover and rebuild their property. Entrepreneurs are using airplanes to build new businesses that will in turn create new jobs. Finally, you can find them on front lines of delivering food, medicines, doctors and medical supplies to remote corners of the world suffering from catastrophic natural disasters.In the following pages, we’d like to introduce you to a few of your fellow Twin & Turbine aviators. They, like you, are the real faces of business aviation.4 • ­TWIN & TURBINEMARCH 2011
