Donna retires after 18 years at Zenith Aircraft

After 18 years, Donna Zimmerman will be retiring from Zenith Aircraft Company at the end of this year.

Donna was responsible for shipping and receiving, making sure the many parts that make up the kits were carefully packaged and crated.  Here, Donna works on one of her last shipments, helping Glen (of Hulett, Wyoming) pack his STOL CH 750 wings, slats and flaperon kit on his trailer this morning (pictured above and below). Donna has helped pack thousands of kit parts and pieces on customers' trailers or in the back of their vehicles, and looked forward to helping them get their Zenith kit parts safely home.

Over her years at Zenith Aircraft she was responsible for packing literally hundreds of Zenith Aircraft kits, shipped to customers across the country and around the world.

Above left, Donna rests against a carefully crated kit containing all the parts to build a Zenith aircraft.

With excellent attention to detail, Donna was also tasked with quality control of the many parts manufactured in the Zenith Aircraft factory in Mexico, Missouri.

We thank Donna for her 18 years service at Zenith Aircraft Company.  

Please join us in wishing Donna all the best in her well-deserved retirement!  Wishing her success in this next phase in her life.

Donna  I first met you in 2003 when I drove out from Calif in my modified Dodge truck to pick up my 601 kit. You will be missed.  Have a great retirement. Quality Sport Planes of Calif

Hello Donna and so long,

Everything I ever ordered from Zenith arrived promptly, well packed, and in good condition.  Thanks!

Enjoy retirement.
