    During a special 24 March 2023 ceremony, the FAA awarded its top maintenance honor, the Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award, to Long Island aircraft mechanic Ed Libassi, 70, of Shoreham, New York, for his more than fifty-years of service to the aviation community.

    The Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award is presented exclusively to those whose aviation careers span more than fifty-years. The award honors an individual’s lifetime accomplishments, sacrifice, and dedication to the larger aviation industry. The award is named for Charles Taylor, the first aviation mechanic in powered flight, who served as the Wright brothers’ mechanic and is credited with designing and building the engine by which the famed duo’s Wright Flyer was powered.

    At age 19, Mr. Libassi opened the doors to A&P Aircraft Maintenance. As the business grew, Libassi’s love of and dedication to Long Island compelled him to move his general aviation repair shop from Bayport, Brookhaven, to MacArthur Airport.
