William Reibsome, 455th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron F-16 aircraft maintainer, keeps Bagram’s F-16 fighter aircraft in the air by performing routine maintenance on the aircraft as well as running tests and changing out tires periodically to keep missions and sorties going.

It’s a good feeling knowing that what we do for a living every day better protects the United States and its allies.” Reibsome is part of the “1000s of Hands” of 455th AEW Airmen who are critical to the wing’s mission to generate and sustain airpower on the combat frontier of Afghanistan for NATO’s Resolute Support mission and Operation Freedom’s Sentinel.
