Detecting danger: NDI shop evaluating new technology to find cracks in parts

Tracy McGehee, a fluorescent penetrant inspector with the 548th Propulsion Maintenance Squadron, rinses a florescent penetrant wash off of a liner duct for a combustion chamber off of an F101 engine in a bay in his shop area. After the part has been thoroughly rinsed and dried, it will be sent to the blacklight room, where inspectors will be able to quickly detect any compromises or cracks under a black light.
