and aerospace.

"We are extremely fortunate to have such highly qualified and
broadly experienced business leaders to help guide the Frontiers of
Flight on its exciting journey ahead,” commented Hugh
McElroy, Chairman of the Board of Directors. “Their
leadership will be added to our existing efforts to make the
Frontiers of Flight a ‘must see’ attraction to visitors
and to residents of the Dallas / Fort Worth
Metroplex”.
Established in 1989, the Frontiers of Flight Museum has gained
a reputation for its display of unique and rare artifacts
representative of the development of flight and continuing through
to space exploration. Most recently, the museum has
