Supermarine. For aviation aficionados the name brings to mind sleek Spitfires knifing through the sky, and that’s precisely the imagery that spawned the name of the FBO at the recently renamed Bill and Hillary Clinton International Airport in Little Rock, Ark. Company founder David Price once owned a pair of the legendary World War II fighters, best known for their staunch defense against the Nazis during the Battle of Britain. He raced the Rolls-Royce Merlin-powered aircraft at Reno during the 1970s, and he acquired the North American rights to the Supermarine name, which he then applied to FBOs at Santa Monica Municipal Airport in California, and at Stewart International Airport in Newburgh, N.Y. He subsequently sold those locations to Atlantic Aviation in 2007, leaving the Little Rock location the only current Supermarine FBO.
