Beat the heat

Senior Airman Matthew Child, left, and Airman 1st Class Joshua Martin are 552nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chiefs in the Red Aircraft Maintenance Unit. Blistering summer days or the bite of winter doesn’t matter when it comes to making sure an E-3 Sentry is safe and ready to fly. Working through a checklist they pour over a jet, tightening fasteners, checking for anything that needs attention. Seeing “their” E-3 fly is a great feeling for them, knowing they had a hands-on to getting it airborne. “Knowing I changed those tires, and to see it fly, that’s a pretty cool feeling,” said Airman Martin.
