Provost-pilot has high hopes for National Hispanic University

When David Lopez, the president of National Hispanic University, was searching for an academic co-pilot last summer, he didn’t know he’d get the real thing.

Lopez drove over to nearby Reid-Hillview airport in East San Jose to pick up candidate Juan Necochea, a respected professor, and his wife, Maureen, who had flown in from Southern California. When Lopez introduced himself in the terminal, Necochea said, “Come over and see my plane and meet my wife. We built it ourselves.”

The stunned Lopez approached the sleek two-seater and thought to himself, “Is this damn thing safe?”"*
