Troy Stegemoeller: Life in the air
The chief lending off icer at $846 million-asset Vista Bank in Lubbock, Texas, has always loved life off the ground.
I am a lifelong aviation enthusiast, and I built my own
airplane, fi nishing it about 10 years ago. I don't see it as
that unique, other than the fact that I remained married to
my wife of 37 years [even though I] built the biggest part of
the airplane in the garage and stored much of it in the basement
until it was ready for fi nal assembly.
It took me three and a half years to build it and to receive
the required FAA Airworthiness Certifi cation. Yes, it's a bit
more complicated than assembling a swing set, and it takes
a little more time. However, this is a kit-built airplane, so
I didn't have to do much math or any of the aeronautical
engineering associated with a new aircraft design.
76 Q ICBA Independent Banker Q July 2019
The thought of building and flying my own plane
came to me when I was 13 and saw a similar, single-seat
version of this plane in Popular Mechanics magazine. I
received my private pilot certifi cation on July 31, 1976,
when I was 18 years old, and I have been a lifelong cow
pasture pilot since then, fl ying mostly simple, single-engine
planes.
The plane I built is a fun-to-fly, spirited ship that performs
gentleman acrobatics very nicely. My heart was
beating fast before that fi rst test fl ight, just like it still
does before a bank examination. Onward and upward!
