Preparing for takeoff

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan -- Staff Sgt. Jason Phillips, a dedicated crew chief from the 455th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, tightens loose screws on an F-16 Fighting Falcon during a preflight inspection Nov. 29, 2009. The crew chiefs check all the screws on the aircraft to assure none of them fall off during flight. The panels get inspected frequently which wears out the screws and makes them loose. Sergeant Phillips is deployed from Shaw Air Force Base, N.C., and hails from Union City, Tenn. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Felicia Juenke)
