Company Airplane

Jim Hendren joined the U.S. Air Force after finishing his engineering degree at University of Arkansas. He flew several different airplanes, but his favorite was the F-15 Eagle (pictured to right). After separating from the Air Force in 1992, Captain Hendren came home to run the plastics business he and his father, Kim Hendren started 8 years earlier when Jim was in college. After 10 years Jim decided he wanted to serve his country again, and joined the Air National Guard where he still serves with the rank of Major working in an Air Operations Center. He deployed to Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar in 2003 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Jim believes the Eagle is a symbol of the finest airplane ever built , American Pride, Freedom and Strength. He is proud to include the logo of an F-15 Eagle on every float we produce.
