SOUTHWEST ASIA – Staff Sgt. Jesse Hutchings, 379th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron aero-repair technician and native of Tacoma, Wash., repairs a crew entry ladder on a B-1B Lancer here Jan. 13, 2012. The ladder was not aligned properly, which prevented the door from completely closing. The maintainers fixed the problem by adjusting the gears to allow the ladder to slide smoothly. Hutchings is deployed from Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Nathanael Callon)
