Running up

JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq -- Senior Airman Graham Willis and Staff Sgt. Ferdinand Brown, 77th Aircraft Maintenance Unit engine mechanics, watch as an F-16 Fighting Falcon idles before going into full afterburner during an engine run up here July 16. The mechanics on the ground examine the engine during the run up checking for leaks, smoke, or anything else that may fail, while the mechanic in the cockpit goes through a checklist of gauges and components.
