Master Sgt. Richard Payne, a crew chief with the 134th Air Refueling Wing, Tennessee Air National Guard, stands against one of his Corvairs at the Guard base in August.
“As a crew chief, you learn early in your training that there is nowhere to pull a tanker over at 30,000 feet for a maintenance problem,” said Payne. Whether he is working on an aircraft or on a car, safety is paramount.
Outside of the National Guard, Payne is a Corvair enthusiast and member of the Knoxville Area Corvair Club, where he served as club president in 2010. Fixing Corvairs is part hobby and part business for him.
