U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Charles Bolles, a 35th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron dedicated crew chief, marshals an F-16 Fighting Falcon at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Oct. 18, 2017. Marshalling is important because pilots have limited vision of the aircraft and ground obstacles from the cockpit. The marshaller guides the pilot to the parking position in a safe manner using visual communication through body signals. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman Xiomara M. Martinez)
