Crew chiefs working round the clock
Airmen 1st Class Anthony Deleon (left) and Curtis Manley, use speed handles to place panels on an F-15C Eagle during a base exercise at Kadena Air Base, Japan, Aug. 23, 2007. By doing this they ensure that the panels are in place and won't fall off during flight. The base conducted a three-day base exercise to demonstrate its ability to deploy and generate aircraft. Both Airmen are phase crew chiefs with the 18th Equipment Maintenance Squadron. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Senior Airman Darnell T. Cannady)
