MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, March 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Captain Wayman Luy Sr. has been honored with both the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award and the Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award, recognizing his remarkable 50+ year career in aviation.

The Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award is the FAA's most prestigious accolade for pilots, celebrating individuals who have demonstrated professionalism, skill, and aviation expertise for at least 50 years. Similarly, the Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award honors aviation mechanics with a half-century of dedicated service, named after the Wright brothers' mechanic, Charles Taylor, who was integral to the development of early aircraft.

Captain Wayman’s journey began in the Peruvian Amazon, where he served as a bush pilot for Alas de Esperanza (Wings of Hope), flying to missions in the jungle and navigating challenging terrains. In 1987 he founded Wayman Aviation in Miami, Florida, starting as a maintenance shop and expanding into flight training by 1988. Over the years, the academy has trained thousands of pilots who now fly for major airlines worldwide, including JetBlue, LAN, American Airlines, and many more.

The school has grown into Wayman College of Aeronautics which has its campus at North Perry Airport KHWO. The College offers comprehensive flight training programs and associate degrees in Aeronautics, Aviation Management and Maintenance Management. It has become a cornerstone of the aviation community in South Florida. His legacy continues to inspire new generations of pilots and mechanics, reflecting a lifelong commitment to advancing the field of aviation.
