AMFA National - Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association

AMFA National Director, Louie Key, and retired National Director, O.V. Delle-Femine, participated in a ceremony in Dallas, Texas on April 15, 2010 in the Southwest Airlines hangar honoring AMFA member and Southwest employee Don Hammer for receiving the FAA’s Charles Taylor Master Mechanic award.

The Charles Taylor “Master Mechanic” Award is the most prestigious award the FAA issues to persons certificated under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 65. This award is named after Charles Taylor, the first aircraft mechanic, to recognize individuals who have spent over 50 years in the aircraft maintenance profession as “master mechanics.”
