ISTAT Remembers Gilbert Speed
It is with great sadness that we report that Gilbert Speed, 81,
founder of SpeedNews, passed away on 27 Jan. 2014. Speed began
his career in aviation as a student apprentice in 1952 at the Bristol
Aeroplane Company, now part of BAE Systems. In 1957, he moved
to Eastern Airlines where he was a development engineer. Then,
after an engineering stint at Pan Am, he become the founder of
Transequip, now part of Telair International. In 1979, he founded SpeedNews, which
became a premier newsletter of the aviation industry. He launched the first annual
SpeedNews Aviation Industry Suppliers Conference in 1987. Speed was a long-time
supporting member of ISTAT from the start, and was the recipient of the 2010 ISTAT
Award. During his more than 60-year tenure in the aviation industry, he become
a well-respected industry partner and touched many lives.
The ISTAT Foundation has created the Gilbert W. Speed Memorial Scholarship
fund in an effort to recognize the many industry contributions and friendships
Speed has made during his career. The fund will provide an annual scholarship, or
multiple scholarships of $5,000 - $10,000 each, to students interested in aviation
careers. Contributions can be sent to the ISTAT Foundation at 330 N. Wabash Ave.,
Chicago, IL 60611 or ISTAT members can contribute online at www.ISTAT.org.
