THE MOVE

State plane getting $900k in upgrades in Wichita A Beechcraft King Air 350 turboprop used for executive travel by the state of Kansas is in Wichita to get upgrades, including new paint, interior upgrades and new avionics. The aircraft was purchased new in 2001 when Beechcraft was part of Raytheon Aircraft Co. Lt. Adam Winters, spokesperson for the Kansas Highway Patrol, says the aircraft has been flown to Wichita for the upgrade work to be done at the former Beechcraft factory that is now part of Textron Aviation. There is additional Kansas work involved, as the new avionics come from Olathe’s Garmin International Inc. The plane is part of KHP’s executive aircraft operations. According to an Associated Press report appearing on the Salina Journal’s website, an open records request and interviews revealed that the upgrades and regular operating costs will cost $900,000. That cost has been criticized by Democratic leaders as being unnecessary given Kansas’ budget woes. Gov. Sam Brownback’s spokesperson

COURTESY TEXTRON AVIATION

A state-owned Beechcraft King Air, similar to the one seen here, has flown to Wichita for upgrade work at the factory now owned by Textron Aviation. Eileen Hawley told the AP that the plane is being used in accordance with state law and that the upgrades were needed given the aircraft’s age.

The King Air was still flying with all original detail and equipment from 2001 prior to coming to Wichita for the upgrades.

The Greater Wichita Partnership has hired Andrew Nave as its executive vice president of economic development. Nave will start in that role next month. “This is a key hire for our team and our community ...,” says Jeff Fluhr, president of the Greater Wichita Partnership. “Andrew’s background and experience are an excellent fit, plus his attitude and skills — from strategic thinking to intense focus — complement the direction of the partnership and region.” Nave has been the executive director of the Shawnee Economic Development Council since 2011 and worked in other economic development roles in the Kansas City area before that.

AWAITING THE RFP

BOMBING RAIDER

Textron AirLand never saying never on T-X trainer The U.S. Air Force’s T-X trainer program made headlines last week when the Boeing Co. rolled out the new jet it has built in partnership with Saab AB to compete for a USAF contract worth an estimated $11 billion. The USAF eventually plans to buy as many as 350 new jet trainers to replace its aging fleet of T-38 aircraft. A Boeing win could mean work for Wichita, as could a win by fellow T-X competitor Northrop Grumman. Two other competitors, partnerships involving Lockheed Martin Corp. and Raytheon with foreign companies Korea Aerospace Industries and Italian manufacturer Leonardo, are offering upgraded versions of existing aircraft that, though there could be Wichita work involved, represent fewer opportunities than the clean-sheet aircraft being put up by Boeing and Northrop.

COURTESY TEXTRON AIRLAND

Boeing last week unveiled the trainer jet it and partner Saab AB will offer for the Air Force’s T-X contract competition. But don’t entirely count out one potential competitor direct from Wichita — the Textron AirLand Scorpion. The Scorpion backed away from the T-X competition earlier this year,

with the joint venture’s president, Bill Anderson, telling the WBJ in April that the plane, or even a derivative, wouldn’t meet the USAF’s current requirements. But those requirements aren’t final, and Anderson said the company wouldn’t rule out competing until the program requirements were made official. A company representative, following Boeing’s trainer unveiling, reiterated Anderson’s previous stance that it would wait until the final request for proposal from the USAF to make an official decision on the contract. While unlikely to change enough, waiting on the final RFP — expected later this year — leaves the door open a crack for the Scorpion on the T-X as the company chases a launch customer for the Wichita-built defense jet.

NEW B-21 BOMBER HAS ITS OFFICIAL NAME The U.S. Air Force this week announced that the new bomber being built by Northrop Grumman would be know as the “Raider.” The B-21 Raider, chosen following a naming competition, will be an homage to the Doolittle Raiders, who, led by Lt. Col. James Doolittle, carried out the first air raid over the Japanese mainland in World War II. Wichita’s Spirit AeroSystems Inc. has been named an official supplier on the B-21 program, though the specifics of its work on the aircraft remain classified.

Ruffin sees Hyatt purchase as an investment in downtown Wichita Phil Ruffin is keeping the Hyatt Regency brand in Wichita. He tells the Wichita Business Journal the 303-room Hyatt Regency Wichita will continue to be managed by Hyatt Corp., and no personnel changes will be made. Ruffin, a Wichita native and real estate and casino magnate, closed on his $20 million purchase of the Hyatt late in the day on Sept. 16. “We’re now analyzing the business,” Ruffin says. “We are very pleased with the purchase.” Ruffin plans to have an office at the Hyatt, though it’s not clear how frequently he will visit the property given his other business and real estate holdings that keep him going between Wichita and Las Vegas.

Phil Ruffin’s Hyatt Regency Wichita. “When I get (to the Hyatt), I’m not going to sit in the lobby,” Ruffin says. He views purchasing the Hyatt as an

investment in downtown Wichita and its continued resurgence. Ruffin says all of the downtown development made the purchase more enticing. The hotel’s location along the Arkansas River also was part of the appeal. Ruffin considers the Hyatt an asset purchase that will become a “decent investment” over time. “I know a hotel like that would cost $50 million to replace,” he says. Ruffin also owns other downtown property, such as the former Bank of America building at 100 N. Broadway that was renamed Ruffin. Last year, Ruffin paid $11.5 million to purchase the Epic Center office building downtown. “I think downtown (Wichita) is going to develop further,” he says.

KANSAS MEDICAL CENTER TO BUILD E-R Kansas Medical Center is partnering with two other organizations to construct a free-standing emergency room in east Wichita. The 9,800-square-foot facility will be built to the east of Granite City near the northeast corner of 21st Street North and Webb Road. Malik Idbeis, chief information officer for Kansas Medical Center, says the construction portion of the project will be about $2 million, plus equipment costs on top of that. GLMV Architecture is the architect. A general contractor has not been selected. He says the 10-bed facility will be called Kansas Medical Center Emergency at Webb. Construction is expected to take a year to 16 months to complete. A start date, however, hasn’t been finalized. Members of Emergency Services Professional Association, all of whom are certified emergency medicine physicians, will staff the emergency room.

Tips for renting commercial space Inspect properties and landlords before picking your small business’s new location. Selecting a commercial location for your business may be one of the most important decisions you make. While the nature of your business often dictates your specific location, it’s smart to have a sense of where you want to operate.

Researching commercial space There are many factors in searching the right commercial space for your business: demographics, location, cost, competition, zoning, and landlords. It helps to not commit after the first sales pitch or get attached to a property too soon. You could end up over budget or locked into a bad lease. To find the right fit, give yourself at least six months to initiate your search. Consider several viable properties, and focus on these criteria when determining your business location: z Consumer demographics. Do you cater to

a certain clientele, such as families with young children? If so, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Fact Finder database has community and household characteristics by ZIP code.1 You can also check SizeUp and U.S. the Bureau of Labor Statistics databases to see if your area includes your target demographics. z Competition analysis. Finding a good loca-

tion without competition is close to impossible. Instead, pick a property with complementary businesses nearby or competitors from which you differentiate yourself. If you run a clothing boutique, for example, locate near a tailor or a dry cleaner. If your small coffee shop is close to a national chain store, offer local and homemade products that set you apart. z Cost calculation. The sticker price alone

doesn’t account for the total cost. Ask about utilities, taxes, and other hidden fees, such as the common maintenance fees associated with strip malls and office complexes. Consider the cost of renovations, too.

z Zoning. Don’t take the landlord’s word that a property is zoned for your business. Verify with your county assessor.

local market and the nuances of properties and landlords,” says Feld.

There are many factors in searching the right commercial space for your business: demographics, location, cost, competition, zoning, and landlords. Vet the commercial space’s landlord Legally, commercial landlords don’t have to disclose as much information as residential landlords.2 You might not be told a property is being foreclosed upon or if it is involved in a lawsuit. Follow these steps to screen potential landlords: z Talk to current tenants. “Word of mouth is

often the best way. Knock on the doors of existing tenants, and ask about their relationships with the landlord,” says Jonathan Feld, senior associate at Baum Realty Group in Chicago. z Search online. “There are a lot of places to check online: blogs, Facebook, social media,” says Larry Lund, principal of Real Estate Planning Group in Chicago. “Sometimes you have to take that information with a grain of salt, but you can also learn a lot.” Also check for complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau.

Work with a commercial office space broker Brokers are local market experts who have experience with area landlords, and can alert you if your landlord has a poor reputation. “Business owners have a lot to gain by utilizing a broker who has intimate knowledge of the

Beyond vetting a landlord, brokers can show spaces you wouldn’t find on your own, help you pick a property with the right demographics, and secure concessions from the landlord. But brokers aren’t lawyers. Check their references, and make sure your attorney negotiates your lease and interprets all legal documents. As you look at potential locations, assess each one thoroughly with these factors in mind. Careful consideration now will help position your business for success in the future. 1 “Getting the Dirt on Your Market.” Inc.com. http://www.inc.com/ articles/2002/02/23903.html 2 “Commercial Landlord Tenant Law.” Tenants Legal Center of San Diego. http://www.tenantslegalcenter.com/html/ commercial_landlord_tenant_law_.html

School bonds: An econo Two Wichita USD 259 bond issues helped keep hundreds of people working locally and brought money back into the community. For a deeper dive into how the USD 259 bonds helped the Wichita construction industry survive, see wichitabusinessjournal.com

BY JOSH HECK jheck@bizjournals.com 316-266-6172, @ICTBiz_jheck

my Champlin is eagerly awaiting the day Robinson Middle School can host its own band, musical and orchestra performances. The Robinson principal says her school has inadequate rehearsal space and lacks the seating capacity to host band and orchestra concerts, instead shifting them to Wichita East High School. Robinson’s existing auditorium also doubles as a classroom, further restricting its usage during certain times of the day. But work is under way to correct those and other space constraints at the 800-student school thanks to a $370 million bond issue Wichita USD 259 voters approved in 2008. That Champlin’s and dozens more USD 259 schools are benefiting from taxpayer-supported bond plans shows the community’s commitment to education and providing top-notch facilities for students. It’s also a commitment that saved hundreds of local jobs during two major recessions over the past 16 years. “I think it speaks volumes that the majority of our community believes that investment in our schools is investment in our future,” says John Allison, USD 259 superintendent. That extends to the district’s students and teachers. “There’s a pride factor,” Champlin says. “It’s nice that our kids have access to the same types of facilities and resources (that other districts have).” The 2000 and 2008 bond issues helped prop up the local construction industry hit hard by recessions that left many companies in desperate need of work. The public sector work pumped millions of dollars into the economy and provided a consistent pipeline of work during times when private sector projects were virtu-

ally non-existent. “In many cases, (USD 259 bond work) was about it for construction projects in town,” Allison says. “ ... It has given us the ability to continue to move forward.” “From a pure economic standpoint, ... our community has really benefited over these 17 years,” says Kenton Cox, a senior vice president at Schaefer Johnson Cox Frey Architecture. Allison says the bond plans helped the district address building safety, instructional spaces, athletics and physical education and fine arts. Those projects also helped the district incorporate more of a focus on career and technical education, Allison says. “We were able to add instructional spaces that match the environment as we talk about preparing the next generation to be career and workforce ready,” Allison says. A big component, he says, was creating flexible instructional spaces that can be easily adapted to the needs of students at the time. Robinson, located at 328 N.

Oliver, received approval last fall for a $5 million project to construct an 800-seat auditorium and a gymnasium that will double as a Federal Emergency Management Agency storm shelter. Sauerwein Construction Co. was awarded the contract, marking the beginning of the final piece of the 2008 bond plan, which involved work at 75 separate schools and the addition of nearly two million square feet of space. The Robinson work is expected to be finished next spring, signaling the end of more than 16 years of school projects spread over two bond issues. Robinson was one of two projects Sauerwein was awarded last year. A more than $1.3 million classroom and storm shelter addition at Coleman Middle School is the other.

Economic lifeline The bond issues’ benefits to the community as a whole can’t be overstated, supporters say.

omic ripple effect Construction is progressing on an 800-seat auditorium at Robinson Middle School. The project will help alleviate space constraints at the school’s existing auditorium, which isn’t large enough for band, musical and orchestra performances. The school also will get a gym that will double as a FEMA storm shelter. The projects are part of the $370 million bond plan Wichita USD 259 voters approved in 2008. The Robinson work is the final piece of that bond plan and is expected to wrap up next spring.

School bond work was a lifeline for area contractors and architects, some who faced the harsh reality of having to close their doors permanently were it not for school bond work to help keep them afloat. “It was a good amount of work that a lot of companies, including ours, benefited from,” says Bob Simpson, president of Simpson Construction Services, which secured more than $54.4 million in work combined from the two bond issues. “We’re going to miss the work.” A lack of private sector projects pushed more contractors to the public sector in hopes of landing work. That benefited the school district because bids were more competitive and often with prices far less than initial projections. With nearly $93 million in contracts, Dondlinger & Sons Construction Co. made the most money from the 2008 bond projects with the bulk coming from the $68 million new Southeast High School, bond documents show. National Contractors Inc. tops the 2000 list with more than $53.9 million in contracts. Twenty five general contractors were awarded proj-

ects from the 2000 bond along with 17 architectural firms, 14 mechanical subcontractors and 14 electrical sub contractors. Twenty general contractors received work during the 2008 bond along with 18 architectural firms, 12 electrical subcontractors and 11 mechanical subs. District leaders also selected Schaefer Johnson as the bond manager in both instances. The contracts were for 1 percent of the total project costs. That amounted to $3.7 million for the 2008 bond issue, plus an additional $720,000 to evaluate the projects when district leaders in 2011 implemented a “pause and study” evaluation of the remaining work. For the 2000 bond, Schaefer Johnson was paid more than $3.3 million as the bond manager. Schaefer Johnson didn’t charge architect’s fees on more than 15 bond projects the firm designed because it was also getting paid for being the bond manager, says Ken Arnold, a planner at the firm. He says the bond issues created a ripple effect beyond contractors and architects. Local vendors were used as much as possible. Various service sectors, such as survey companies, soil testing businesses, equipment suppliers and furniture vendors, also benefited from USD 259 bond work. Then there’s permitting and inspection costs paid to Sedgwick County and area municipalities such as Bel Aire and Wichita.

Needs remain The end of the 2008 bond plan gives district leaders and members of the oversight committee a chance to reflect on what has been accomplished since 2000. Schaefer Johnson is updating a facilities master plan that was last updated in 2008. Arnold says that plan is expected to be completed and presented to district leaders by the end of calendar year 2016. USD 259’s demographics data also needs to be updated to reflect the addition of new schools in growing parts of the district, such as the northeast and southeast quadrants. Arnold says the 2000 and 2008 bond plans have gone a long way toward modernizing USD 259’s facilities, but issues remain. Mechanical systems that were installed before the 1980s were replaced with the 2000 bond, but systems installed after that weren’t. Installing new windows in some of the district’s older buildings is another area of need, Arnold says. “There’s still a need out there,” he says. But that doesn’t mean a third bond issue is imminent. District leaders say the updated facilities master plan will be evaluated before any decisions like that are made.

Maize USD 266 is in the early stages of a $70.7 million bond.

SUBURBAN DISTRICTS ADD TO LOCAL PROJECTS PIPELINE Wichita USD 259 passed its first major bond issue in nearly 30 years with a $284.5 million plan in 2000. Eight years later, the district passed a second bond issue — this one $370 million — to continue the progress made with the first. Area school districts have passed their own bond issues — some multiple times — since 2000. Maize USD 266 is in the early stages of a $70.7 million bond plan to fund the construction of tornado safe rooms and a professional center at Maize High School, a new early childhood center and a renovated and expanded Maize Middle School. Additions and improvements at Maize South High School and various athletic upgrades also are part of that total. That work follows the completion of a $58 million bond plan voters approved in 2007. In May, voters in Valley Center USD 262 approved an $18 million bond to address various infrastructure needs. That vote came eight years after a $57.5 million bond was approved to construct a new Valley Center High School, among other new facilities. El Dorado USD 490 was given the goahead in May to implement a $36 million plan to add two new elementary schools and create a performing arts center. That work is an extension of the district’s 2010 bond plan, another $36 million initiative. Last year, Haysville USD 261 was given voter approval for a $59 million bond. Cheney USD 268 is in the midst of a $15.4 million bond, the district’s first since 1996. Derby USD 260 began with a $66.6 million bond plan in 2012 to fund a new middle school, renovation of an existing middle school, replacement of the district’s central kitchen, roof replacement on 10 buildings, upgrades to Derby High School and improvements at several middle schools. An $83.6 million bond issue for Goddard USD 265 paid for the construction of new high, middle and elementary schools. Augusta USD 402 passed a $48 million bond in 2008. In 2006, Andover voters passed a $39.7 million bond issue that included the creation of three new elementary schools. Clearwater USD 264 and Circle USD 375 are others that have used bond issues passed over the past 16 years to implement facilities-improvement plans.

COVER STORY

2000 BOND IN DETAIL

n April 2000, voters in Wichita USD 259 approved a $284.5 million bond plan to update building infrastructure and systems. This was the first bond issue the district passed since the mid-1970s. But it wasn’t a slam dunk. The country was entering a recession, and some wondered whether people should shoulder an additional tax. At the time, the bond issue was the largest passed in Kansas. Hyde Elementary was the first project bid in March 2001. Lewis Elementary was the last project bid using bond money in June 2005. Ninety-one schools received work during that time. Roughly 1.2 million square feet of new space was added as part of the 2000 bond plan. Five replacement schools were constructed. Twenty-five general contractors were awarded projects along with 17 architectural firms, 14 mechanical subcontractors, 14 electrical sub contractors. The bulk of the work was awarded to locally owned firms. The busiest year for project bids was 2003 with 28. In 2001, 26 projects were bid, with 21 in 2002, 17 in 2005 and nine in 2004.

Wichita North High School received several upgrades as part of Wichita USD 259’s 2000 bond plan. Those projects included the addition of a $1.2 million technology building and new windows.

COVER STORY

2008 BOND IN DETAIL

n November 2008, voters approved a $370 million bond plan, supplanting the 2000 bond as the state’s largest. Like in 2000, bond advocates faced opposition to passing the 2008 measure. The U.S. was headed into another recession as well. Seltzer Elementary School was the first bond project bid in September 2009. The last was Robinson Middle School in November 2015. A project to add an 800seat auditorium and a axillary gym that doubles as a FEMA safe room is expected to be completed in the spring of 2017. Nearly two million square feet of space was added to the district’s footprint as part of the 2008 bond. Much of this bond centered on modernizing athletic, physical education and fine arts spaces. Increasing building safety also was a priority. Nine new schools were constructed. Twenty general contractors received work during the 2008 bond along with 18 architectural firms, 12 electrical sub contractors and 11 mechanical subs. Again, the bulk of the work was awarded to locally owned companies. Five projects were bid in 2009, 17 in 2010, 23 in 2011, nine in 2012, seven in 2013, 11 in 2014 and two in 2015.

The new Wichita Southeast High School is the largest project of the 2008 bond issue. Construction wrapped up earlier this year, with students starting in August. Southeast relocated from its longtime home near Lincoln and Egdemoor, a site that will eventually house the administrative operations of Wichita USD 259. The new building, spanning 330,000 square feet, is divided into two wings separated by a commons area at the building’s main entrance. Dondlinger & Sons Construction Co. was the general contractor. Schaefer Johnson Cox Frey Architecture was the architect. KELLEN JENKINS / WBJ

LIST ANALYSIS

Credit unions grow on consumer demand BY DANIEL MCCOY dhmccoy@bizjournals.com 316-266-6195, @ICTBiz_dmccoy

New data shows most of the Wichita area’s largest credit unions continued to grow in 2015, as total assets among those organizations grew over 2014 thanks to increased demand for their services. According to the list of the area’s largest credit unions on page 14, 14 of the 17 organizations that provided data for both 2015 and 2014 increased their total assets, a 10.4 percent growth in asset value. Meritrust Credit Union topped $1 billion in total assets for the first time in 2015 — $1.1 billion. That growth continues, says CEO and president, James Nastars. He says Meritrust will in 2016 also top $1 billion in total loans. “Our members are our owners. They feel like a bigger part of the organization,” he says. “That structure is resonating with them.” Meritrust, he says, is raising its profile through community stewardship and economic development efforts that are also helping attract the attention of potential members.

James Nastars, CEO and president Meritrust Credit Union. And hiring is happening behind the scenes, he says, to ensure it keeps up with added traffic and can offer the best and latest types of service. Consumer loans are growing as members buy new cars and homes while interest rates remain low.

It’s a sign, he believes, of an improving economy. “It’s really hitting on all cylinders,” Nastars says of his business. “As the Wichita economy continues to improve, we think our value proposition will drive more of that growth (at the credit union

and in the community). It’s a rising tide that lifts all boats.” Jim Holt, president of MidAmerican Credit Union, has also experienced growth at his organization as MidAmerican grew total assets from $239 million to $269 million from 2014 to 2015. Holt says some of that growth is from mergers, some is organic. That includes growth in consumer loans like at Meritrust, though on the auto side, he says growth has slowed to more of what he would consider a steady normal from what had been a blistering pace. He says MidAmerican also works to raise its profile in the community, including emphasis on physical locations even as electronic services grow and doing more work with small business accounts. That helps attract new members, all while MidAmerican also brings enhanced offerings to existing members — both of which help drive organic growth. The key to maintaining that growth, Holt says, is maintaining customer-driven focus. “We need to serve people the way they want to be served,” he says. “We have to meet them where they want to be met.”

some tough choices to make on how to allocate a $20 million windfall from the sale of the Hyatt Regency Wichita. Phil Ruffin is buying the 303-room hotel, allowing the city to get out of the hospitality business. City leaders want to put some of the money toward infrastructure improvements, such as streets, with smaller portions for transit and quality of life, such as parks. But nothing has been finalized, and city leaders are open to suggestions. The Wichita Business Journal asked participants in its Emerging Leaders program for their take on how the $20 million should be spent. “I’d put it into downtown,” said Tyler Ellis, project manager at Hutton Construction Corp., and one of 11 people who participated in a Breakfast with the Editor discussion Friday morning at the WBJ. He said he’d most like to see investments made into improving or rebuilding Lawrence-Dumont Stadium and other development along the Arkansas River. Christy Bennett, a stress engineer with Spirit AeroSystems Inc., also would like to see more money invested downtown. She cited Oklahoma City’s Bricktown as an example of how public and private investments can make an area thrive. Six years ago, Wichita city leaders and downtown stakeholders got serious about a creating a downtown revitalization plan to serve as a blueprint for development. Since then, millions of dollars have been invested in downtown development from the public and private sectors. Hundreds of new apartments have been added with hundreds more in development. Infrastructure, such as parking garages, has been improved. “The more you see people out, you feel more engaged,” said Samantha Woods, an attorney at Martin, Pringle, Oliver, Wallace and Bauer LLP. The WBJ and KLC are partnering on the Emerging Leaders Program to help develop the next generation of leaders in Wichita. Others participating in Friday’s discussion were: Justin Newell, senior project manager and lead sale engineer at Callcap; Eloy Mendoza, director of marketing at Southwestern College Professional Studies; Darren Klug, technical project manager at Cox Communications; Siddharth Sivaramakrishnan, senior quality engineer at Johnson Controls; Francis Baalmann, partner at Foulston Siefkin; Elena Borjas, assurance manager at Allen, Gibbs & Houlik LC; and Juan Flores, solution delivery specialist at AgVantis.

10 MINUTES WITH...

Airport ace VICTOR WHITE PICKED THE RIGHT CAREER: MANAGING AIRPORTS been the biggest eye-opener. What’s your favorite feature in the facility? For me, it changes every day. More frequently than not, I hear other people say their favorite thing is the glass jetways. People love those things. They’re so unique in this country, and we have the largest installation of glass bridges in the country. There are only four airports in our country that even have one, and we have the most. I see people taking a lot of selfies in the bridges. Then other people, like me, may say tomorrow, “I really love the artwork,” this glass sculpture that is 330 feet long, that has a feeling like it’s a cross-section of a wing. Then there are the history of aviation displays — that’s a huge addition. Then other people love the floor, the terrazzo with all the lines. We won a national award for the design and installation of the terrazzo. There are just a lot of things that come out from this building. We’ve gotten an awful lot of exposure, and I mean worldwide, because of it.

Victor White, director of airports for the Wichita Airport Authority.

KELLEN JENKINS / WBJ

ast week, Victor White celebrated his 11th year as the director of airports for the Wichita Airport Authority. Not far from his office, work continues demolishing the old terminal building — work that is about two-thirds complete — to make more room for Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport’s gleaming new terminal. Inside the facility, passenger numbers are on the rise, as are the number of marquee airlines. Alaska Airlines was the most recent addition, coming on the heels of the airport’s biggest win ever — the addition of Southwest Airlines in 2013. Such additions gave White plenty of reasons to celebrate his work anniversary, with the new terminal chief among them. It’s a crowning jewel to be sure. But it’s also one that takes a lot of polishing. How has the new terminal lived up to expectations so far? I think it clearly met, and did exceed, what I thought would happen. The reaction when people walk into the building for the

VICTOR WHITE TITLE: Director of airports, Wichita Airport Authority. AGE: 65. FAMILY: Wife, Denise; three grown children; two grandchildren. EDUCATION: Bachelor degree in transportation and business, Saint Louis University. EXPERIENCE: Wichita Airport Authority, 2005-present; Sanford Airport Authority, executive director, 1998-2005; Salt Lake City Airport Authority, deputy director of airports, 1990-1998; City of Midland, Texas, director of airports, 1983-1990; Waukegan Airport Authority, executive director, 19811983; Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, duty airport manager, 1977-1981.

very first time is incredible. The feeling is that this thing that we’ve created really puts Wichita on the map. It puts us in a more competitive position, both psychologically and business-wise with other communities across the country. It is the first and last impression a visitor to Wichita has, and we’re thrilled to be a part of that. From the airline’s point of view, they’re happy because operationally it is more efficient and their employees are happier to work here. And a happier employee translates to better customer service. Also, for the airlines, happier employees mean their bosses are happy too ... and that plants another seed of optimism, I think, for the airlines that are making decisions on growth. What’s been the biggest surprise about the new terminal? It’s beautiful, it’s light, it’s bright and airy, there are lots of shiny things. The biggest surprise to a lot of people here has been how hard it is to keep it clean. Because it’s so shiny, every little speck of dirt shows. Every fingerprint shows on the stainless steel or on the glass. The custodial staff has been really stressed by the amount of work it takes to keep it clean. That’s

What’s your aviation back-story? How did you fall in love with the industry? I was first an amateur photographer. When I got my driver’s license in high school, I would drive out to the airport in Fort Worth where I grew up and I’d just shoot pictures of airplanes. In those days, no one was worried about liabilities, so there were always these pilots that’d say “Hey kid, you wanna go for a ride?” So I started riding in airplanes. Then there was another guy who asked if I wanted to learn how to fly and I said “damn right.” So I went back to my parents, it was $600 for a guaranteed private pilot’s license. It took a couple years, but I got my license in the summer of 1968. I was the only kid in high school who was a private pilot. That was a pretty cool deal. So, I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy, and I actually had a nomination to go from a congressman in Fort Worth, but that was the year I had to start wearing these (glasses). I was just devastated. Long-short story, I went off to the University of Houston and that was the year the movie “Airport” came out. And that’s what did it for me. I knew I wanted to be in an airport. So thank you to Burt Lancaster and “Airport” for bringing me to Wichita. — Daniel McCoy
