Fixing P-3s
Petty Officer 2nd Class Justin Strong, Navy Patrol Squadron 10 aviation structural mechanic, replaces a hydraulic line on a P-3C Orion, July 27, in Southwest Asia. Petty Officer Strong teamed with Master Sgt. Michael Ormerod and Staff Sgt. Andrew Teigen, 379th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintainers, on this short-notice repair and their joint effort ensured the aircraft?s mission readiness. The P-3C provides an over-watch of U.S. and Coalition Forces, gathering intelligence to assist them on the ground and on the sea. All servicemembers are deployed in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Staff Sgt. Robert Barney)
