Honoring Mike Hirschberg and His Contributions to Advancing Aviation
When I learned of his VFS departure, I asked him to join the HYSKY Board of Directors. He said yes. In that moment, I felt the full circle of my journey: the person who once inspired me to take the leap into AAM now standing beside me as part of HYSKY’s leadership. It’s a gift not just to me, but to everyone who will be lifted by his guidance.
