The AMTA is proud to announce the future dedication of another bronze bust of Charles E. Taylor to American Airlines' Kansas City Overhaul Facility this May 24th, 2007. This donation was spearheaded by Mr. Dick Hankins who is not only an AA AMT but also a Charles E. Taylor Master Mechanic Award recipient. With a generous donation from TWU Local 530 and American Airlines MCI management's desire to house this beautiful bronze bust the AMTA will be able to make the public more aware of the responsibilities of today's AMT.
Besides donating the bust of Mr. Taylor the Kansas City's FAA FSDO will be presenting 4 more Charles E. Taylor Master Mechanic Awards to AA AMTs at the MCI facility. There are currently 14 C.E.T. Master Mechanic Award recipients from the AA MCI area. These recipients are just an indication of the knowledge, skill & integrity that the MCI AMTs posses. If you are interested in making a donation towards the cost of this bust you may use the PayPal link on the AMTA web site's Membership Page, or you may mail a check directly to the AMTA. Just indicate that your donation should be placed for the MCI bust. This bust will be created by the talented artist Virginia Hess who has created the previous Charles E. Taylor busts donated by the AMTA.
The names of those making a donation for this bust will be inscribed on a plaque to be placed on the base of the bust. The bust of Charles E. Taylor will be housed in a glass case with a curved wall behind it highlighting all the American Airlines MCI C.E.T. Master Mechanic Award Recipients. This will be displayed in the main lobby entrance. As always, thank you for your support in promoting the proud craft & profession of today's AMT. Sincerely, Kenneth MacTiernan Director AMTA
