Lee Spalding Memorial for Design Build Fly

Continue Mr. Spalding’s Commitment to Community

Lee Spalding spent his career in Wichita's aviation industry, 26 years at Boeing starting out as an electrical inspector for the flight line. Later, he spent 19 years at Cessna as Director Quality Assurance, interfacing with the FAA and certifying and delivering Cessna aircraft.

Several months ago, both Lee and Jean Spalding (pictured right) were thrilled to learn that the Fuselage Theater in Exploration Place’s all-new aviation exhibit, Design Build Flywas sponsored in their honor.

Lee was delighted that the fuselage and the exhibit would inspire the next generation of aviation professionals.

We are grateful to the Spalding Family for the memorial they have established to further support the exhibit.
