Meet the Board

Wally Johnson - Treasure

Wally drives up from Delano several times a week to volunteer with our Build-A-Plane students and help rebuild Tsunami.

Wally is a licensed A & P Mechanic and works as a mechanic at Malibu Aerospace. He is engaged to a wonderful woman and when he isn't spending time with her, he can be found working on Tsunami as a hobby!

Wally has been on Flight Expo Inc's board since 2018. He loves getting kids involved in aviation and inspiring the next generation of aviators and mechanics!
