began a business together, Flying
Machine Co., in Sunrise Beach.
Several moves and four daughters
later, Pippen-York Inc. is going
strong with York as president of the

His duties included aircraft troubleshooting, autopilot work and installations ranging from panel-mount
equipment to FMSs, TCAS and
GPWS. Wilken then moved into
crew lead positions. After managing
the larger projects, Wilken moved
into the engineering electrical interface side of the installation. From
there, he moved into the FAA certification side and designing STC
projects. In 1996, the current avionics manager moved to another position, and Wilken was asked to manage the avionics department. During
this time, the company changed its
name from Elliott Beechcraft to
Elliott Aviation, and there was a
new focus to grow the maintenance
and avionics departments.
In 2002, Wilken moved to a fulltime sales position, where he was
a regional salesperson calling on
prospective customers, and creating
product development programs to
keep Elliott positioned in front of its
competitors.
Wilken regularly attends the AEA
International Convention, regional
meetings and forums. He recently
served on the AEA Strategic
Outlook Committee. Wilken also
serves on manufacturer advisory
boards for Rockwell Collins, Aircell,
Garmin and Universal.
