George Spyrou

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Spyrou attended private schools in England and Connecticut before he entered Harvard University.

AIL went into receivership in September 1990 under heavy financial pressure, and its assets were eventually obtained by Northrop Grumman.

Spyrou founded AMS three months later, with the financial support of Sojitz, Fujifilm, and TCom.

AMS is headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, and has a FAA repair station and technical facility in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

[3][4][5] Spyrou was a member of Inner Temple, the Airship Association (UK), the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and was active in Harvard and Christ's College affairs.
