Sheet Metal Airmen maintain B-52
Airman 1st Class Blake Ruddel, 2nd Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance apprentice, uses clecos, or temporary fasteners, to hold two pieces of sheet metal in place on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Aug. 23, 2013. Ruddel rebuilt a rib on the right elevator panel of a B-52H Stratofortress, and then covered it with sheet metal. Ribs are essentially the foundation under the sheet metal which help form the skeletal structure of the panel. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Joseph A. Pagán Jr.)
