Aero-News Quote of the Day
“When I took that first flight lesson in 1967, I had no idea it would lead to nearly 60 years of being hooked on aviation and flying. I’ve been blessed to have a career that has allowed me to work with so many people in an ever-changing and evolving industry that has helped to connect people and make air travel safe for so many people. I am humbled to receive these honors and recognition from the FAA, and I look forward to continuing to volunteer and work with my fellow B-29 Doc maintainers to keep Doc flying for generations to come.”
Source: Bob Hays, a crewman working with the B-29 Doc crew, has been recognized by the FAA with its highest honor: The Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award. If that wasn't enough, he also got a second-lifetime capstone award in the form of the FAA's Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award, given to those who demonstrate professionalism, skill, and expertise for more than 5 decades without incident
