Join us on Uplink as we discuss the launch of SpaceX 'Starship' and its first orbital test flight. Plus, should taxpayers be compensated for the profits of SpaceX? Also, the National Aircraft Finance Association is hosting its 51st annual conference this week. We share some key topics the industry will discuss at the conference.
Our featured guest this week is Mr. Lou Seno. Seno serves as Chairman Emeritus and Special Advisor to the JSSI Board of Directors. Before joining JSSI, Mr. Seno held senior management positions at the business aircraft units of Boeing Capital Corp. and G.E. Capital Solutions.
Lou is very active in the aviation industry, serving on Boards for organizations like the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), National Aircraft Finance Association (NAFA), and Dreams Soar. Mr. Seno is a long-time general aviation pilot and aircraft owner with over 7,000 hours of flight time. The FAA presented the Wright Brothers' "Master Pilot" award in 2016.
In our conversation, we ask Mr. Seno how organizations which he serves on the Board for are coping with the mechanic shortage. We dive into what the Business Aviation sector focuses on now with the pandemic tailwinds slowing down. Finally, we discuss what to expect during this week's 51st National Aircraft Finance Association (NAFA) conference in Florida.
