ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, ALASKA -- 12th maintainers walk along side an F-15e Strike Eagle guiding the aircraft through a blizzard of snow to hangar 2. Even though the inclement weather of winter has the potential to ground aircraft, maintainers must ensure Elmendorf's Fighters have the means to leave at a moments notice.
