Sheltair, the largest privately owned FBO network in the U.S., has been serving the needs of the aviation community for decades. Now it plans to help train future members through scholarships offered in honor of company founder Jerry Holland.

After separating from the Air Force in 1963, Holland, who died in 2025, entered the building trade, which led to airport property development focused on general aviation.
