Spike says Boisture really fits the bill
Bill Boisture is a ‘Top Gun’ pilot, having graduated from both the USAF Fighter Weapons School and the US Navy Fighter Weapons School. He has also held top positions at a number of major business aviation firms.

Spike Aerospace has added Bill Boisture to its executive team. Boisture will help execute Spike's strategy, building partnerships and financing. He is known for his 35 years of senior leadership positions at high profile companies, including as the former president and COO of Gulfstream Aerospace, president of NetJets, chairman and CEO of Hawker Beechcraft and now as an operating partner at AeroEquity.

“I had been sceptical of the business model for supersonic flight as the corporate market seemed too small for a supersonic business jet,” he states. “But the Spike Supersonic Jet can meet the needs of private, corporate and commercial airline operations. Being able to serve multiple markets expands the opportunity dramatically and makes a strong business case for Spike Aerospace. I'm looking forward to helping the company develop its strategy and build the relationships necessary to succeed.”

“I'm very proud to add Bill's experience in aircraft development, manufacturing, sales and operations to our growing team of seasoned executives. His background speaks volumes about the value he brings to Spike and the launch of our quiet supersonic jet. I'm looking forward to working with and learning from Bill,” adds Vik Kachoria, president and CEO of Spike Aerospace.

Boisture is joining Spike's growing executive team which now includes Tom Captain, former vice chairman of Deloitte Aerospace and Defense Group; John Thomas, former CEO of Virgin Australia Airline; Ray Benvenuti, private equity investor; and Brian Foley, former director of marketing at Dassault Falcon Jet.
