Maintenance Spotlight: Mike Darnall
Behind every well-maintained airport is a team of people who make sure the work gets done! Mike Darnall is an important part of that team.
Mike has been part of our maintenance crew for the past four years, working part-time alongside a three-person crew. His primary responsibilities include mowing and keeping the airport’s mowing equipment maintained and in working order.
His days start early because when it comes to mowing, cooler temperatures are better! Mike divides his mowing area into six sections and works his way through them, often starting right back at section one once he finishes section six during the height of the growing season. 🌱🚜
In addition to mowing, Mike handles equipment maintenance and repairs, something he takes particular pride in because it helps the airport save money and keeps equipment running when we need it most.
One of his favorite airport memories came while mowing on a clear summer day. He suddenly felt a rumble and vibration, turned around, and found himself face-to-face with six U.S. Army Apache helicopters landing to refuel on their way home to Pennsylvania from a mission in Northern Michigan. Talk about an unexpected day at work!
When asked what makes his job special, Mike points to the people he works for and alongside and the fact that he still genuinely enjoys the work and looks forward to coming in each day.
We’re grateful for the hard work, communication and dedication Mike brings to the airport! 👏
Thank you, Mike, for helping keep our airport in great shape!
