Video: John Goglia's NAHF Enshrinement

The Aerospace Maintenance Council proudly celebrated John Goglia’s induction into the National Aviation Hall of Fame during the Enshrinement Ceremony held this past Friday in Wichita, Kansas.

As founder of the AMC Competition, John’s vision created a stage that inspires youth, celebrates technicians, and elevates aviation maintenance worldwide. His leadership, dedication, and lasting impact on the profession continue to shape the next generation.

We were honored to be there in person to support John on this historic occasion, as he became the first FAA-certificated A&P mechanic enshrined in the Hall of Fame. This year’s class also included aviation trailblazer Phoebe Omlie, recognized for her pioneering contributions as one of the first women to break barriers in U.S. aviation.
