Mooney Airplane Co. Names Floyd Washburn VP Of Programs & New Business

Former Gulfstream Exec Is Also A Mooney Owner

Mooney Airplane Company has announced the appointment of veteran aviation executive Floyd W. Washburn, to the position of Vice President of Programs & New Business. Washburn joins the Kerrville, TX-based planemaker from Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, where he spent the past 19 years, serving most recently as program director for Multi-Mission aircraft.

"Floyd Washburn has demonstrated his ability to lead project teams effectively over his entire career in aviation, which spans nearly a quarter of a century," said Mooney president and CEO Dennis Ferguson. "He has an outstanding record in program and product management. Our operations will benefit greatly from both his administrative and his technical expertise," he added.

Representatives with Mooney tell ANN Washburn is a 1969 graduate of what was then known as Southwest Missouri State University -- now Missouri State -- with a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics, and a minor in Industrial Engineering. He received a dual master's degree from the University of Texas at Dallas in 1979 -- one in mathematics with an emphasis in statistics, and another in Management and Administrative Science with an emphasis in finance.

After beginning his career as a planning and control manager at Texas Instruments in 1972, Washburn moved into the aerospace industry as a product line manager for Tracor Aerospace in 1983.

In 1988 he joined Gulfstream Aerospace as Manager of Program Management Services and subsequently progressed into program management roles for Cargo Door Modifications, Medevac Aircraft development, and Maritime Search and Rescue programs. Washburn was instrumental in the development, direction and negotiation of numerous US government, domestic and foreign contracts while at Gulfstream.

A licensed, instrument-rated pilot, Washburn is also a Mooney owner.
