Helo And Fixed-Wing Pilot With A Business Background
The Uvalde Flight Center in South
Texas is pleased to welcome Samantha Harlan to her new position as
General Manager of the Uvalde-based FBO. Ms. Harlan's varied
experience as a pilot, FBO office manager and event coordinator
will be put to good use in managing the Flight Center and Uvalde's
airport operations.
A private pilot with over 200 hours of time in both helicopters
and fixed-wing aircraft, Samantha is excited about combining her
management and public relations skills with her love of aviation.
Ms. Harlan attained her pilot's license in 2007, while working at
Tomball Jet Center in Houston, TX. Starting her flight
certification in helicopters and then adding a fixed-wing rating,
she joined a highly select group - less than 1% of all pilots are
female helicopter pilots.
Samantha also previously worked at Hi-Tech Aviation,
located at David Wayne Hooks Airport (KDWH) in Spring, TX. Other
experiences included working as a Consultant and Site Coordinator
for Houston's Horseshoe Bay Resort and Buffalo Valley Event Center,
where she says the responsibilities of planning, promoting and
managing events for sizeable groups put Samantha's education (a BA
in Speech Communications and minors in Business Management and
Spanish) to good use.
Samantha said she is eager to help expand awareness of
aviation opportunities in the South Texas region. She plans to
utilize her experience in public relations and event coordination
to help Garner Field and the Uvalde Flight Center achieve greater
regional visibility in area communities and, of course, in the
aviation community.
SkyWay Group Sales and Marketing Officer Gary Buchanan said, "We
are delighted Samantha has chosen to lead the Uvalde Flight Center.
Her valuable management and public relations background, piloting
skills and passion for aviation promise to make her an invaluable
asset to the SkyWay Group and the Uvalde community. We look forward
to a productive and long-lasting relationship as she helps expand
Uvalde's aviation presence and opportunities in the years
ahead."
