Fix, load and fly

Senior Airman Kern Brathwaite, 2nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron aircraft pneudraulics journeyman, loosens a bolt to replace a leaking spoiler actuator on a B-52H Stratofortress on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., July 11. The hydraulic replacement was a necessary discrepancy that had to be fixed in order for the aircraft to participate in the Red Flag exercise at Nellis AFB, Nev. Maintenance Airmen worked around-the-clock to ensure all aircraft participating in the exercise were ready. Red Flag provides realistic combat scenarios for aircrews from the U.S., NATO and allied countries. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Micaiah Anthony)(RELEASED)
