Mr. Harris Baker Blackwell, Jr. has been flying airplanes for almost thirty years. After taking flying lessons at the Baltimore Air Park in Perry Hall, Maryland, he formed a partnership with a few fellow pilots (Mr. William J. Stang and Mr. Jeff Austin) and bought a Piper Cherokee 180, N5212L, which they have kept at Martin State Airport. Over the years, he has obtained many ratings in various aircraft which have allowed him to work as a flight instructor and then as a pilot for such companies as the ITC Corporation in Towson, MD, US Air Express, NASA at Wallops Island, C. J. Langenfelder and Sons in Baltimore, and most recently, American in Baltimore. His range of aircraft include the Beechcraft King Air 200, the Fairchild F-27, the Citation II and the HDC - 8.

Together they have one daughter, Nicole Jennifer Blackwell, and two Cocker Spaniels, Madeline and Dobie. When not in the air, Harris Blackwell works at his business, Blackwell Auto Body, in Baltimore. He has greatly enjoyed the opportunities he has had and continues to have as a pilot, and he is proud to be a member or the National Air and Space Museum.
