Aircraft Maintenance Manager Larry Stewart was presented the Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award in a ceremony at the proving ground in mid-March. The award, the highest conferred by the Federal Aviation Administration, is exclusive to individuals with at least 50 years of experience in the field. Stewart, a helicopter crew chief awarded 12 Combat Air Medals during his service in Vietnam, served two stints at the proving ground in uniform prior to his current civilian service that began upon his retirement from active duty in 1989.“Be proud of what you do and how you do it,” he said. “If you love what you are doing, you will get good at it.”
