Queen Elsa the Basset Hound is our official mascot. She is here to let our valued customers know we allow their beloved pets on board our aircraft. Elsa makes sure all our dog treats are "Queen Approved" and makes sure the carpets of our aircraft are clean and comfortable. Her hobbies include sleeping, giving most everyone she meets sloppy wet kisses, barking and howling at any strange mutts who wander onto airport property (don't get us started on cats that come onto the property) and sleeping. Did we mention sleeping?
Email: She can't read (so don't bother)
Phone: She can't talk either
Rich began his career with Seneca Foods in 1999 working in various marketing and sales positions within Seneca. Bringing years of Food Industry experience with him, he had proven to be a valuable asset to the Seneca team.
Rich was eventually given the opportunity to run Seneca Flight in the early 2000's. Rich always had an interest in aviation as his father was a pilot in WWII flying B-24's, so Flight was a great fit.
Rich earned his Bachelors Degree in Journalism / Communication Studies from The University of Massachusetts / Amherst and his Masters in Administrative Science from The Johns Hopkins University.
Rich is on the Board of Directors of the New York Aviation Management Association (NYAMA) - an organization dedicated to promoting the viability and business interests of New York State's airports.
In his spare time, when he has it, Rich and his wife spend their time assisting at a Rochester homeless shelter and pampering Flight's official mascot Queen Elsa.
Sue has been an active member of Seneca of over 20 years, beginning her career with Seneca Foods in 1994. Since then, Sue has worked her way to Flight where she serves as both the accountant for Seneca Flight and greeter to all who walk in the door. In the summer Sue spends most of her time at her camp, as she loves being outdoors and enjoys a quiet place to read her books.
