Ron Renz has been flying for 46 years, getting started in college when his boss paid for his first flight. Ron is an aerospace engineer and an experimental test pilot and operates an aircraft management business at Lawrence Municipal Airport. He provides all aspects of operating and maintaining aircraft, including consulting services. Ron related in detail a flight over the North Atlantic made in March 2020 to deliver a Mitsubishi MU-2B turbo prop to Germany. The aircraft buyer and two other passengers were also aboard. Fueling stops were made in Maine, Iceland, Greenland and Scotland. The threat of bad weather, terrible visibility and great distances made such a flight particularly challenging. Careful preparation and an understanding of the plane’s requirements and limitations are essential. The trip was made just as countries were closing their borders due to Covid. However, the flight was a success. Ron Renz is clearly a man who loves his job.
