A man of many engine talents
Ready to serve and keep the flying mission on track, Chief Master Sgt. John Davis knows jets and their engines. When Davis isn't at the 932nd Maintenance Group, helping train new reservists on C-40 jet engines, he is an assistant professor of aviation technology at Purdue University. The two positions complement each other. During his 15 years on active duty, Davis worked on engines powering F-4 Phantoms, F-15 Eagles, C-130s, and a variety of other Air Force aircraft while he was assigned to Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. He was an instructor at Chanute Air Force Base in Illinois for eight years and taught courses in airframe and power plant. Davis joined the Air Force in 1978 and said he plans to continue serving at the 932nd Maintenance Group as a traditional reservist. "I still love what I'm doing," he said.
