Small improvements keep Misawa’s aircraft ready to fly, fight and win
U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Brooke Williams, 35th Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance journeyman, prepares to put primer on an F-16 Fighting Falcon at Misawa Air Base, Japan, June 28, 2012. The primer protects the metal on the aircraft from erosion. When an aircraft is grounded due to physical damage, it is the job of aircraft structural maintenance Airmen to get it repaired and back in the air.
