455th AEW Photos

Out on a wing

Airman 1st Class Pablo Fajardo, 379th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, 34th Aircraft Maintenance Unit, chooses a screw head to tighten rivets on a gear screw access panel Aug. 25, 2008 at an undisclosed air base in Southwest Asia. The access panel was removed to allow a check of the gear sweep assembly as part of a home station check. Home station checks are performed every 800 hours of flying time, checking wear and chafing in high stress sections of the B-1 Lancer aircraft. B-1s assigned to the 379th are regularly called upon for precision air strikes in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. Airman Fajardo is a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., and is deployed from Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Michael Boquette/Released)
