John M Canepa Memorial Scholarship awarded to Seth Hitman.

Seth was born in Wichita Kansas, the city known as the Air Capital of the World. Wichita was the birthplace of Cessna, Beechcraft, and Stearman in the 20s and 30s and is currently the home to Textron Aviation (the parent company of Cessna, Beechcraft, and Hawker), Learjet, Airbus, and Boeing/Spirit Aerosystems. As a kid, Seth was around aviation often. "My grandparents met working on the beechcraft production floor building King Airs. Every Time we saw one, my grandpa would take a glance at the serial number and say 'Yep, I built this one'. Talking to him about airplanes is a large reason as to why I developed a passion for aviation." Seth will be attending UW Madison in the fall and plans on majoring in Electrical Engineering and potentially Computer Science as well. He hopes to obtain his pilot's license soon and is considering becoming a Certified Flight Instructor at some point in the future.
