Even before Jane Garvey took the helm of the FAA nearly six years ago, she made the pilgrimage to Oshkosh for the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual gathering at Wittman Regional Airport. That journey would continue throughout her five-year term, and it helped to win over many of her early skeptics.

Much of Garvey’s previous experience had been in surface transportation, first in the Massachusetts Department of Public Works and later in the Federal Highway Administration. In between she served as director of aviation for the Massachusetts Port Authority, which runs Boston Logan International Airport.
