Name that plane

Rapid-fire facts

April 2024 winner:

Dominic Palazzolla, Avionics Simulation Engineer, Collins Aerospace, Binghamton, New York

How long have you been in the aerospace business? For a short five months. I’m a recent college grad.

How did you become interested in aircraft? From video games, my studies at school, but the biggest thing was going to the Intrepid Sea, Air, & Space Museum and getting to see all the different planes in person.

What is your favorite aircraft and why? The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter because it’s almost not a plane but a rocket ship with wings. Also, it was used by many different air forces and by NASA.

Runners-up:

Hans Millonig, Engineering /Technical Mgr., Trelleborg Aerospace, Chalfont, Pennsylvania

Fred Jacobson, Senior Electrical Engineer, ATI Forged Products, Cudahy, Wisconsin
