Inspection in deployed location gets jets back in the air sooner

Members of the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics phase team connect wires during a deep-dive inspection of a U-2 at an air base in Southwest Asia, Sept. 1, 2011. The inspection takes the team of 14 civilians 19 days from start to finish and encompasses 450 special inspection items that are critical to keeping the aircraft flying. Conducting the inspection at the deployed wing returns the aircraft to the mission sooner, officials said. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech Sgt. Patrick Mitchell)
