Patrick Henry High School Career Day San Diego May 2002
AMTA Director Ken MacTiernan explaining about the sacrifices the thousands of men and women in aviation make because of our profession. The students were not aware that maintenance is a 7/24 operation. Nor were they aware that holidays, weekends, birthdays, etc. are missed by these skilled craftsmen and women in order to keep aircraft safe to fly. After I met with these fine students they were better informed about Charles E. Taylor and the thousands of AMTs who are the "Faces Behind Safety". |
