- As aviation transitioned from barn storming to more practical uses, Foster and Ruth Lane found an opportunity at Port Columbus in Columbus, Ohio and opened the Port Columbus Flying School.

Brain Schauweker began his career at Lane Aviation working part-time for the terminal services department on February 13, 2010. Seven months later Brian moved to a full-time position as a Tank Farm Agent at the fuel storage facility at John Glenn International Airport, facilitated by Lane Aviation. As a Tank Farm Agent, Brian performed the required tests, procedures, and documentation to ensure the aviation fuels in Lane Aviation’s custody remained clean, dry, and on spec. In 2014 Brian transitioned to the commercial airline fueling department and advanced into a relief supervisor role. In March of 2022, Brian was promoted to the role of Commercial Airline Manager, leading a team that provides an on-time fuel operation for every commercial airline flight that arrives or departs from KCMH. Brian’s responsibilities as Airline Manager include managing a team of 15 commercial airline refuelers, hiring, training, safety, airline audits, scheduling, and on-time delivery. Brian’s experience in multiple roles at Lane Aviation has given him a good understanding of the foundations of the company and the flow of the business.
