BOARD OF TRUSTEES BIOGRAPHIES
The FASF Board of Trustees reflects a remarkable diversity of backgrounds and talents.
A prime asset of any nonprofit Board is a diversity of educational and occupational backgrounds, talents, and skills of its Board members and officers. The 8-member FASF Board of Trustees, all deeply committed to the preservation and restoration of a national historic treasure, the First Aero Squadron Aerodrome, reflect this desired diversity as exemplified below. The brief biographical statements below are simply highlights from each member's resume.
Although Tim is a native of New Mexico, he was raised and has lived and worked all across the US, and in Europe. Flying is in his blood. His father was active during the Korean conflict and retired from the USAF after 30 years, while his grandfather, a US Navy veteran of WWII, was also a pilot and police officer in Los Angeles, CA.
With the family drive to also become a pilot, Tim left college while living in Missouri, to join the US Army, where he graduated from Helicopter Pilot school. He spent one of his active duty tours during his over four year Army career as a chopper pilot in the Vietnam war.
After his military flying, Tim continued his love of aviation by working as a pilot in the oil industry in Louisiana, New Mexico and California. After a short stint in the construction field, he ended up flying all across the country, but mostly in the Western states, where he specialized in fire fighting operations.
Tim recently retired and now lives at one of the Columbus, NM Airparks, where he is busy restoring a homebuilt airplane. tbayer407@earthlink.net
