Mike Stanberry built Metro Aviation in 1982, and he still comes to work every day. He’s a dreamer, an optimist, and someone who doesn’t take no for an answer.
Mike’s undying persistence with regard to safety is personified in his mantra: “For safety to exist, it must be a way of life.” His dedication to safety was recognized by industry leaders as the 2009 recipient of the Jim Charlson Award, honoring Mike’s commitment to safety, not only within Metro Aviation, but throughout the aviation industry. As Past Chairman of the Board and founding member of the Air Medical Operators Association (AMOA), he works with a diverse group of aviation operators to set the industry standard for safe air medical transportation.
