Yingling Aviation and Safe Flight Instrument Corp. continue family legacies with the promotions of Andrew Nichols and Matthew Greene.

Yingling Aviation named Andrew Nichols president. Nichols, the son of Yingling chairman and CEO Lynn Nichols, most recently was CFO. He succeeds Lonnie Vaughan, who has served as president for the past seven years and returns to the position of CFO. Andrew Nichols, who earned degrees in finance and business management from Kansas State University and Wichita State University, served in the finance department at Cessna before joining Yingling full time in 2010. In addition, Yingling expanded the roles of Chris Short, director of maintenance, and Rebecca Williams, director of parts. Short now will have oversight of aircraft maintenance, avionics, interiors, and aircraft paint services, and Williams will steer the management of propeller sales, repair, and overhaul services.
