Lt. Col. Michael Minamyer smiles while standing in front of a B-52 Stratofortress at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, March 24, 2026. After enlisting in the Air Force as an aircraft maintainer in 1996, Minamyer quickly climbed the ranks, earned his commission, and became a weapons system officer. Now, the commander of the 307th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. He completed the Air Combat Command’s Maintenance Course for Operations Commanders, making him both a Master Navigator and aircraft maintenance officer – a rarity in the Air Force Reserve Command.
