Integrity and Precision: non-destructive inspection technicians ensure aircraft safety

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Brian Kitur, 378th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron non-destructive inspection section lead, uses a tap hammer to inspect for disbonds along the wing of an F-16C Fighting Falcon within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, May 12, 2025. Disbonds, or delamination, can occur when paint on the aircraft has separated into layers, requiring the aircraft to be repainted before resuming flying operations.
