Shane Lowney

Shane Lowney holds his pilot’s license and flies a Cessna 182 frequently. Lowney’s passion for aviation may have been sparked by his enrollment at Florida Institute of Technology, one of the few universities which offer an aviation degree. 75 miles from Orlando, Florida Tech was founded as Brevard Engineering College in 1958. The student body on campus in 2013 numbered 4, 633, equally divided between graduate and undergraduate students focusing primarily on engineering and the sciences.
