   CONGRATULATING MARK BURNS ON RECEIVING LIFETIME AVIATION INDUSTRY 
                              LEADER AWARD

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mark 
Burns, who recently received the Lifetime Aviation Industry Leader 
Award.
  The Living Legends of Aviation Awards was founded in 2003 by the 
Kiddie Hawk Air Academy to recognize notable individuals who 
contributed to the aviation industry.
  Prior to being named Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation's president in 
July of 2015, Burns worked in various areas spanning the company, 
including engineering and customer support. While president, Burns has 
guided Gulfstream during a time of rapid growth, innovation, and 
investment.
  Additionally, Burns sits on the board of directors for the General 
Aviation Manufacturers Association, Georgia Power, and the Corporate 
Angel. He is a board member of the National Air and Space Museum, and 
he is a member of the National Committee for the Performing Arts, 
amongst others.
  Burns is also a proud alumnus of Georgia Southern University, where 
he received his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, and from 
there, built a career worth applause and appreciation by Georgia 
residents.
  Congratulations, Mark.
