12 Outstanding Airmen of the Year
Master Sgt. Lawrence B. Taylor is an air traffic controller chief controller with the Oregon Air National Guard and has been selected as one of the 12 Outstanding Airmen of the Year. He volunteered to deploy to Iraq where he expertly supervised the air traffic control tower at busy Baghdad International Airport. He also worked in the tower at Sather Airbase, Iraq, and was certified on the controls just two days after arrival. While at BIAP, he created an alternate mobile control center providing back-up capability there. His skills directly contributed to more than 4,000 military flights moving more than 20,000 tons of cargo and 100,000 passengers, all with no mishaps. (U.S. Air Force photo)
