Blake Scholl has been a plane geek since he was a baby, when his parents took him to watch turboprop Cessnas taking off near their home in Cincinnati, Ohio.
“I had a Fisher-Price toy plane, and my parents say I held it up and knew it was like those in the sky,” he says in a video chat from his car in Denver, Colorado. “After that I was always sketching pictures of airplanes and thinking about how to build them.”
