Aubray attended Auburn University, where he studied agricultural engineering. Aubray, an Auburn "farm boy," trained as an Air Force pilot. He served in the Vietnam War, supplying fresh food and supplies to US Troops and the Montagnard fighters.
Aubray had a passion for flight and, after his service, he spent 30 years flying for Delta Airlines. He frequently said, "I never worked a day in my life." He just got to play…
