Maintaining KC-135s, turning fuel into freedom

SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Senior Airman Mike McGovern, deployed from Grand Forks Air Force Base, ND, to the 340th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, performs a tool inventory following a recovery operation of a KC-135. While it may seem a meainingless task, tool inventory is a vital part of aircraft maintenance. Even the smallest socket could cause thousands of dollars worth of damage, waste hundreds of man hours and endanger lives if not accounted for. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Jason Barebo)
