Master Sgt. Jesse Mathes, 332nd Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron Viper Aircraft Maintenance Unit production superintendant, examines a nose gear torque-link pin for serviceability on an F-16 Fighting Falcon during an exceptional release inspection Aug. 6, 2010, Joint Base Balad, Iraq. Torque links help keep the nose landing gear strut from separating from the rest of the aircraft. The F-16 has a tri-cycle type landing gear system, with two main wheels in the back and one wheel infront. Sergeant Mathes, a native of Gate City, Va., is deployed from Shaw Air Force Base, S.C.
