While NBAA and 4Air are funding carbon offset credits to mitigate travel to and from NBAA-BACE and greenhouse gas emissions of the event itself patrons will have the opportunity to vote on the CO2-reducing projects that will be supported through the purchased carbon credits, including wind energy produced in Oklahoma, a forest management project in Massachusetts, and greenhouse gas emissions reduced in Florida during the production of automotive and aircraft manufacturing materials.
National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) President and CEO Ed Bolen issued the following statement today on the passing of Randall (Randy) Greene, former chairman and chairman emeritus of the Corporate Angel Network (CAN). "Randy loved aviation and life itself," Bolen said. “It is only fitting that a significant part of his legacy was the passion and dedication he brought to having business aviation transport cancer patients to treatment centers. For decades, Corporate Angel Network has provided help and hope to those in need. It represents the best of our community and our humanity. This pioneering organization is a direct reflection of the vision for caring that has been long held by Randy and his remarkable family. We salute his countless contributions to aviation and join his family in mourning his passing." Greene had a storied career as CEO of Safe Flight Instrument Corporation, founded by his father Leonard in 1946. Under Greene’s stewardship, the company has pioneered a host of safety technologies, including Stall Warning, Angle of Attack and Automatic Throttle systems. Safe Flight’s innovations are incorporated into more than two thirds of the world’s aircraft today.
