Our Speaker: Aviation Weather with Thomas Winsett, National Weather Service
Thomas enjoys flying and would like to share his interest in aviation and aviation weather that was sparked when he joined the National Weather Service. He is not a pilot but maybe we can change that.
Thomas is from Hickory, NC, attended UNC Asheville for meteorology, and got his master's degree at UNC Charlotte in meteorology. He has worked at the National Weather Service for 7 years. Six years were at the National Weather Service office in Jackson, MS. He was the office's Aviation Focal Point and ran the aviation weather program.
Join us at monthly at Greenville downtown airport (KGMU) to share experiences and fellowship as pilots and aircraft enthusiasts!
