American Aero, an IS-BAH-certified Signature Select FBO (Booth N3505) at Fort Worth Meacham International airport, presented the Navy SEAL Foundation with a generous check for $20,000 on the first day of the 2015 NBAA convention. The non-profit foundation, headquartered in Virginia Beach, Va., provides support to the naval special warfare community and its families during crises.

“A number of our employees are current or former members of the military, and we have the highest regard for this nation’s service men and women,” said Riggs Brown, general manager of American Aero. “This donation is part of our ongoing commitment to honor those heroes,” he continued.

American Aero raised the donated monies through a “Red, White and Blue” program that enables fueling customers to contribute 10 cents from the price of every gallon of fuel, and the FBO matches the donation, essentially doubling it.
