NBAA Marks Passing of Leonard M. Greene, Aviation Safety Advocate
Leonard M. Greene, 88, died of cancer on November 30. Aviation safety advocate, inventor and entrepreneur, Greene was founder and honorary chairman
of Safe Flight Instrument Corp., supplier of air safety and performance technology to the majority of the world's aircraft manufacturers. Founded in
1946, the company was launched by Greene's invention of the stall warning indicator. Greene also co-founded Corporate Angel Network, which flies more
than 2,500 cancer patients per year to treatment centers for free by using empty seats on business aircraft. In 1996, NBAA honored him with the
Meritorious Service to Aviation Award for his significant contributions to aviation. Greene was preceded in death by his son, Donald, a passenger on
United Flight 93, which crashed over Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. A memorial service for Greene was held December 4 in White Plains, NY. In
lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Corporate Angel Network, Westchester County Airport, One Loop Rd., White Plains, NY
10604.
