About Stacy Terry

Well-well look. I already told you: I deal with the customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What is wrong with you people- Tom Smykowski, Office Space Accomplished aerospace leader with a TS/SCI clearance and 16+ years of experience across crewed and uncrewed flight operations, systems integration, and technical training. I’ve led cross-functional teams in high-stakes environments, supported strategic mission planning, and delivered large-scale training programs for the Air Force and commercial aviation. Currently, I serve as a Flight Crew Training Instructor at American Airlines and an Instructor Flight Engineer and Tactitian for the USAF, with prior experience as an RQ-4 Global Hawk pilot and UAS tactics instructor. I specialize in operational readiness, flight systems integration, mission planning, and customer-focused program support. My passion lies in building smart, sustainable aviation programs, where flight, autonomy, and mission design are synergistic. Whether on the flight deck or in a program office, I thrive when aligning technical systems with mission outcomes.
