 Dwight Jarboe, former CEO of Missionary Maintenance Services Inc. (MMS), was recently awarded the Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award from FAA Safety Team Manager Mark Harden. The award is given to aircraft mechanics who have exhibited professionalism, skill, and aviation expertise for at least 50 years in the aircraft maintenance profession.
“I’m honored by it [the award],” said Jarboe. “I feel honored. Years of work are recognized and I think it’s appreciated. It’s a good feeling and I value the award. It’s not just a little consequence to me. I value it.” There is a process to apply for this prestigious award. Applicants must send in a resume of their service over the years which the FAA reviews for consideration. Each applicant must also supply three letters of recommendation from other mechanics and fill out an application.
