Maureen O'Hara Blair
1920 - 2015
Maureen O'Hara Blair was an incredible lady. A classy lady that was down to earth and a pleasure to work with. At AAB
she was Mrs. Blair and always very much part of the business. Her and Capt. Blair were indeed the dynamic duo. After the death
of her beloved husband in 1978, Mrs. Blair showed incredible strength and took over as president of AAB and provided the leadership to guide us in the coming years. She will always be remembered for being the very special person she was.
Maureen O'Hara Blair speaks at the event that launched the restoration of Sikorsky VS-44 Excambian N41881 in Connecticut back in 1987.
