Sheltair Aviation and the Aerospace Center for Excellence (ACE) unveiled the "Jerry Holland Destination: Aviation" playground this week in Central Florida. ACE is home to the Florida Aviation Museum and an educational center located at Lakeland Linder International Airport (KLAL)—host to the annual Sun ‘N Fun Aerospace Expo.

The playground is a tribute to Jerry Holland, who founded family-owned Sheltair in 1963 and expanded it into a major private aviation infrastructure developer and FBO operator.
