Meet The BEFC Board of Directors : Safety – Jose Narvaez

As far as he can remember, Jose has been fascinated by airplanes.  No doubt the mechanical inclinations of his family (trains on his mother’s side, airplanes on his father’s) influenced him.  At about the age of four he discovered afterburners, thanks to the F-104’s of the Puerto Rico ANG.  “Feeling the noise on my chest, the earth shaking, and seeing fire coming out of the exhaust like a rocket; I was hooked.  My parents had to take me to San Juan International Airport (KSJU) almost every weekend to watch the airplanes take off and land for hours.”  He also has been a big follower of the space program.After high school, Jose attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach for two years, and began his flight training there, before enlisting in the Air Force and completing his Bachelor’s degree through the military. He served as a crew chief and maintenance instructor for six years and reached the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-5) in less than four years.  He was stationed at Nellis AFB, working on F-4, F-15, F-5, F-16, and A-10; RAF Alconbury, working on U-2; and Randolph AFB, working on T-37.  While at Randolph AFB, he applied for Officer Training School and Undergraduate Pilot Training, but the medical exam discovered a gastrointestinal disorder that grounded him and disqualified him for military service.  Jose has continued to work in the aerospace field since separating from the military, primarily as a civilian contractor supporting military contracts.  He also has been involved in other aviation activities on his spare time, such as the Commemorative Air Force, Experimental Aircraft Association, National Association of Rocketry, and the Civil Air Patrol.  Jose holds an FAA Airframe and Powerplant certificate with Inspection Authorization and has worked on over twenty different types of aircraft, from an Airbike homebuilt to a C-5 Galaxy.  He moved from Lockheed Martin to Boeing seven years ago. He started as an aircraft mechanic on the C-17 aerospace support program at San Antonio, Texas.  Currently, he is a Quality Specialist (Planning) on the weapons programs at St. Charles, Missouri.Four years ago, he was able to obtain a special-issuance medical from the FAA, and has been slowly working towards his private certificate.  He has logged 58 hours single engine land time, several winch-launched and aerotow sailplane flights and 1.3 hours as observer in the back seat of an F-4.
