For those not aware, Charles Taylor was the Wright Brothers' mechanic, who designed and built the internal combustion engine that powered the Wright Flyer.

Thanks for the kind words, fellow aviators. Actually, this is a longevity award. Survive long enough in the aviation industry, and you too can get one!

Congratulations! I have a few more years before I am eligible. I started helping in the shop in 1980, and then went to school and received my A&P in 1983.
