Kenny Glasgow has never set foot in an executive suite, but that didn’t stop him from taking a private plane to the office. In the 1960s, Glasgow — who spent his career fixing jet engines at GE Aviation’s Strother Field plant in Kansas — saved up his wages to buy a Cessna 150 two-seater. “One fall, the Arkansas River flooded and the road to Strother was closed for several days,” Glasgow says. “I had about a quarter of a mile of alfalfa just east of the house. You could land down there when it wasn’t too tall. So I just flew to work.”
