The General Aviation
Manufacturers Association (GAMA) -- which reprerents over 50 of the
world's leading manufacturers of general aviation aircraft,
engines, avionics and related equipment -- told Aero-News this week
it has chosen Mr. Miles Tischhauser as its 2006 Edward W. Stimpson
"Aviation Excellence" scholarship recipient. Mr. Tischhauser
recently graduated with honors from Genoa-Kingston High School in
Genoa, IL.
Mr. Tischhauser set his aviation career path into motion as a
junior in high school by starting flying lessons at his local
airport. During the school year, he also took several aviation
related courses through the Kishwaukee Education Consortium Program
for college credit.
While maintaining his excellent academic record, Mr. Tischhauser
remained active in his community and participated in many extra
curricular activities. He earned the honor of Eagle Scout this
spring and capitalized on opportunities to build leadership skills
as a member of the Student Council for four years and took part in
the National Youth Leadership Program for six years. He was also a
member of his high school football and track and field teams.
With the ultimate goal of becoming a commercial pilot, Mr.
Tischhauser will pursue an associate's degree in Aviation Flight
and Management this fall at Kishwaukee College in Malta, IL.
After receiving his degree and certified flight instructor
certificate, he plans to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Aviation
Management while continuing to build flight time.
Sounds like Mr. Tischhauser is exactly the kind of person we
need to carry the general aviation banner forward. Congratulations
from Aero-News!
