JASDF leadership tour Hush House
Col. Hitohiko Iwasaki, 3rd Air Wing vice commander, left, asks Master Sgt. Aaron Mackey, 35th Maintenance Squadron aerospace propulsion maintainer, a question during a tour of a hush house at Misawa Air Base, Japan, June 25, 2013. Hush houses give propulsion maintainers a place to test and inspect jet engines before returning them to the flightline. During testing, the engine can produce approximately 29,000 pounds of thrust and burn more than 2,000 gallons of fuel. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Kenna Jackson)
