Mike Cuy

   Mike Cuy’s job has him right on the edge of technology. He’s in charge of new engine materials testing at NASA Glenn Research Center. During the week, he tests new engine parts and coatings for some of today’s most advanced aircraft.

   On the weekend, Cuy goes back in time. He is the owner/pilot of a 1930’s Pietenpol homebuilt plane. Flying his Pietenpol out of a Northern Ohio grass strip, Cuy enjoys the atmosphere of the old days. “It’s like a time machine. No control tower, no jets. Just enjoying aviation at its core essence. Flying low and slow, enjoying the view,” says Cuy. Cuy has won awards with his Pietenpol at many fly-ins across the midwest including the 1998 Bronze Lindbergh award at the EAA’s fly-in at Oshkosh, WI.
