455th AEW Photos

Ready for takeoff

A KC-135 Stratotanker taxis to the runway at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar March 27. Ensuring aircraft, like the one pictured here, take-off safely is one of the many responsibilities of the 379th Operations Support Squadron’s Airfield Management team. The team inspects AUAB’s airfield every day, more than 49 million square feet of pavement. Any discrepancies that could interfere with flying operations are reported and dealt with quickly. In 2015, the 379 EOSS Airfield Management team supported more than 20,000 sorties. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. James Hodgman/Released)
