A.L. Ueltschi, Chairman & Founder
Al Ueltschi learned to fly at the earliest possible age, soloing at 16 at an airfield not far
from his home on a Kentucky dairy farm. The enterprising youngster opened a hamburger restaurant,
the "Little Hawk," where the main dish cost just a nickel. He used his demonstrated entrepreneurial skills
as collateral on a loan of $3,500, the purchase price of an open cockpit aircraft in which he gave flying
lessons, staged his own air shows and barnstormed around the country.
