Ensuring mission readiness, one bolt at a time
Airmen 1st Class Dalton Smith and Landyn Artman, 22nd Maintenance Squadron hydraulic technicians, remove a KC-135 Stratotanker boom, Feb. 1, 2016, at McConnell Air Force Base, Kan. The inspection is a multi-day event which allows maintenance Airmen to bring the aircraft into the hangar to lift, clean, deconstruct and then reconstruct it to ensure every part on the aircraft is functional.
