Over the course of his military career, Schenck flew Black Hawk helicopters in Korea and trained others as a night vision goggle instructor pilot. He also served on the Army staff in the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans, a post with responsibilities for overseeing the flying hour program, which makes sure military aviators receive sufficient training.
“You have an impact across the entire force, making sure every aviator had enough flying hour dollars, maintenance dollars, to train and be ready to accomplish their mission on behalf of the nation,” Schenck said during an episode of the “Aerospace Advantage” podcast.
Schenck, who earned an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1996, joined the PenFed leadership team in 2001 and was named its top leader in 2014. He went on to grow its assets from $17.8 billion to $34.79 billion and increased membership from 1.3 million to 2.9 million members.
In March, the National Aeronautic Association picked Schenck as the recipient of the 2024 Bruce Whitman Memorial Trophy, which honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to aviation or aerospace.
