Staff Sgt. Tyrell Pennington, a flying crew chief, reaches for a visitor’s badge at the Royal New Zealand Air Force Base Ohakea’s Maintenance Support Squadron Structural Repair Bay Nov. 13 in Ohakea, New Zealand. U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Chris Chamberlin, a flying crew chief, stands waiting his turn as Master Sgt. Adam Keele, production superintendent, signs into the visitor’s log. The three U.S. Air Force Airmen are picking up an auxiliary power unit inlet door target sensor that RNZAF structural aircraft technicians crafted for a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III 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. The Airmen are deployed to the 517th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. Pennington is a Los Angeles native; Chamberlin hails from Clifton Park, New York; and Keele calls Victor, Montana, home. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Master Sgt. Denise Johnson)
