Wall of Honor Level:
Air and Space Friend

Honored by:

Ken Perich is the epitome of an aviation enthusiast. He grew up in a small town called Warren, Ohio, not too far from where Neil Armstrong learned how to fly. When he was young (around the dating age!) he owned his own Piper Cherokee Aero, which he fondly called "Foxy." Ken Perich holds his private pilots license, as well as licenses and type ratings in all air craft ranging from small corporate jets and seaplane, all the way to commercial airplanes such as the 747.

He is currently the Vice President of Marketing for Rolls-Royce North America and lives with his wife and three girls in Oak Hill, Virginia. He sits on the Board of Trustees of the National Aviation Hall of Fame, and is one of the founders of The National Aviation Heritage Invitational, which celebrates outstanding restoration of older airplanes. He has worked his entire life in the airline industry, and has continually strived to keep aviation alive in the hearts of the next generation.

He is a wonderful husband and father, and I can think of no better person to honor on this wall outside of the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Dulles, Virginia
