Dan Rice
Flightcraft
Dan Rice began his career in aviation right after graduating from high

worked for Northwest

career, and it ignited
Rice’s interest in aviation.
After graduating from high school, Rice attended
A&P school at Portland Community

department. He began doing two-year
pitot-static certifications and worked
on basic instruments to get his foot in
the door.
After receiving his A&P certificate,
he was able to expand his work with
a number of different jobs, including: airframe inspections, sheet metal
repairs and modifications, and assisting
the avionics department on avionics
installs. During this time, Rice discovered that working with avionics
equipment and new technology was
interesting, and he was able to join the
avionics shop full time.
After Western Skyways closed
in 1987, Rice was offered a job at
Flightcraft and still enjoys working there today. During his time at
Flightcraft, he has had the opportunity
to work on a number of interesting
projects in the U.S. and overseas. He
has continued to grow as the avionics sales manager and supporting the
inspection department. Although he
doesn’t have as many opportunities to
work on aircraft, he enjoys providing
support to the younger technicians and
being a part of the team.
Rice has enjoyed being involved in
all aspects of the AEA during the last
15 years.
Mark Wilken
Elliott Aviation
Mark Wilken’s passion for aviation began at the young age of 10 after
watching an older gentleman in his
neighborhood fly a radio control airplane.
With the help of a local RC airplane
club, he learned to fly RC airplanes.
Through the next several years, he
built, flew and crashed many. During
this time, he also was introduced to
electronics and began taking electronic
items apart to see how they worked.
After two years in the avionics program at Southern Illinois University
at Carbondale, Wilken elected to stay
in school and get an aviation management degree. Wilken also wanted to
learn how to fly since
he was going to be
working on aircraft for
a living. After borrowing money from his
parents, he enrolled in
the university’s flight
program. Wilken graduated in 1989
with an AAS in avionics, a bachelor’s
degree in aviation and his private
pilot’s license.
Following graduation, Wilken
landed a job at Elliott Beechcraft in
Moline, Ill., as a bench repair technician fixing everything from King
KX-170s to Honeywell Primus radars.
