SOUTHWEST ASIA--Airman 1st Class Christopher Chartier from the 380th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, removes a hydraulic package from an E-3 Sentry engine here Aug. 24. Each engine is line modifiable to fit either inboard or outboard positions. Airman Chartier is removing the package due to being sent an inboard engine where he needed an outboard engine. This was the 6th engine change in 120 days. The normal fix time to remove and replace an E-3 engine is 18 hours. The technicians here have sliced that time in more then half. Their average time to change an engine and replace the aircraft to flyable condition here is 8 1/2 hours. Airman Chartier is deployed from the 552nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. his hometown is Yucca Valley, Calif.(U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt.
