(Left to right) U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Adam Keele, Royal New Zealand Air Force Gene Angus, U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Tyrell Pennington and RNZAF Karl Waiaraki discuss a newly-crafted auxiliary power unit inlet door target sensor at the RNZAF Base Ohakea’s Maintenance Support Squadron Structural Repair Bay Nov. 13 in Ohakea, New Zealand. Keele, 517th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron production superintendent, enlisted the aid of RNZAF structural technicians to craft the piece which was causing a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III to be grounded. The Airmen and C-17 are deployed in support of Exercise Kiwi Flag. Kiwi Flag is a multilateral RZNAF-sponsored tactical airlift exercise conducted annually in New Zealand. Service members from the USAF, RNZAF, Royal Australian Air Force, Republic of Singapore Armed Forces and French Armed Forces of New Caledonia are participating. Air operations will be conducted out of RNZAF Base Ohakea, New Zealand. Kiwi Flag personnel will provide air support to Exercise Southern Katipo, New Zealand Defence Force’s largest-ever multilateral joint force amphibious exercise with eight other nations participating: United States Army and Marines, Australia, Canada, France, Malaysia, Singapore, Papua New Guinea and Tonga. Keele and Pennington, a flying crew chief, are deployed from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. Keele is a Victor, Montana, native while Pennington calls Los Angeles home.
