Preventative maintenance keep BONES ready to provide combat air support

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Cody Patterson, 34th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Unit, performs a main landing gear temperature sensor inspection, March 1, 2015, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. Patterson, a native of Marion, Va., deployed here from Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., is a dedicated crew chief of the 34th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron flagship. B-1s based here are capable of supporting operations in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, or anywhere else they are needed. In recent months, the bombers have played a major role in helping Iraqi and Kurdish forces hold or retake key territory in Iraq and Syria, as well as destroying facilities and assets used by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
