Ron Corley Receives Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award

CAF Volunteer Honored For Lifetime of Dedicated Maintenance Service

The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) announced that its volunteer aircraft mechanic Ron Corley has been awarded the FAA’s Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award. The award honors the commitment and achievements of senior mechanics with more than 50 years of aviation maintenance.

The award is named after aviation pioneer Charles Taylor, who served as the Wright brothers’ mechanic and designed the engine for their groundbreaking aircraft. To be eligible, recipients must hold a U.S. Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) or FAA mechanic or repairman certificate with at least 50 years of dedicated service in aviation maintenance. Such experience can include civil and/or military work, as well as maintenance work overseas or in the U.S.

Ron’s Award serves as a testament to his lifetime of contributions and adherence to the highest standards in aviation safety and maintenance. As an active member of Airbase Georgia he has made numerous invaluable impacts on the CAF and inspired others with his commitment and skill.

All maintenance mechanics and pilots, as well as others who assist in keeping the aircraft flying and presenting them to the public are volunteers who donate their time and resources because of their passion for flying and love of the aircraft. Ron’s dedication and receiving this award is a distinction for the CAF that helps reinforce its mission to “Keep ‘Em Flying” and preserve aviation history and its legacy for future generations.
