AMT Day 2016 - Making Charles Proud

Charles Taylor, the Wright Brothers' mechanic and father of aviation maintenance, was born on May 24, 1868. Today - 148 years later - we honor his legacy with every safe arrival.

On behalf of ARSA, I'd like to celebrate this year's Aviation Maintenance Technician Day by thanking the men and women who work tirelessly on maintenance lines and in component shops in service of the flying public. Just as Orville and Wilbur couldn't have flown without their mechanic, we can't fly without you.

To help make that point I encourage you to take a moment to watch ARSA's seven-minute documentary on the maintenance industry. Shot on location at member facilities, the film provides a glimpse of the vital work being done at repair stations around the world:

Of course, I also invite you to make the most of this day by ensuring you're taking advantage of ARSA's work for you. Are you fully enjoying all of the association's member benefits? Visit arsa.org/membership to find out.

Thank you for helping to keep the world safely in flight. Working together, I know we'll continue to make Charles proud.
