During the tour of IMPulse NC, Butterfield and Foxx will be joined by IMPulse President Jeff Wharton, Vice President of Operations Butch Campbell, Vice President and Controller Sandy Facello, Factory Leadman Gary Thigpen, and Manufacturing Engineer Alan Story. At Global TransPark, Butterfield and Foxx's tour will be guided by Executive Director Sherman Lupton, Airport Director Rick Barkes, Spirit AeroSystems A350 Operations Director Tom Greenwood, Spirit AeroSystems Vice President and General Manager Charles Baggett, and Spirit AeroSystems Operations Director Jeff Lohrengel.
