11Meet The BEFC Board of Directors Safety Jose
Narvaez
As far as he can remember, Jose has been
fascinated by airplanes. Â No doubt the mechanical
inclinations of his family (trains on his
mothers side, airplanes on his fathers)
influenced him. Â At about the age of four he
discovered afterburners, thanks to the F-104s 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.Â
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 Bachelors 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. Â 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. Â 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. Â 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. Â 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.Â
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.
