Name that plane

August/September 2022 winner:

Aaron Heinrich, Delta Motion, Applications Engineering and Training, Delta Computer Systems Inc., Battle Ground, Washington

How long have you been in the aerospace business? Entering my seventh year.

How did you become interested in aircraft? Since childhood – we had family friends who were professional pilots, and my first flight in a small aircraft was in a Cessna 150 flying off a grass strip. I started sailplane lessons at age 13 when I learned I could solo at 14.

What is your favorite aircraft and why? I have a soft spot in my heart for the Lockheed C-130 Hercules – I just love the utility and ruggedness of the design.
