33rd FW nondestructive inspection Airmen inspect F-35

Nondestructive inspection Airmen inspect an F-35A Lightning II panel at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., May 16, 2016. These specialists are responsible for inspecting the inner layers of metal objects to identify possible defects. The nondestructive inspection section utilizes non-invasive equipment such as transducers, x-rays and ultrasound machines to look for imperfections in the inner layers of metal on an aircraft to preserve the stealth of the aircraft.

Nondestructive inspection Airmen use a transducer to check for imperfections on an F-35A Lightning II panel at Eglin Air Force base Fla., May 16, 2016. This piece of equipment uses sound vibrations to check for cracks in the inner layers of metal on a jet that may go unnoticed by the naked eye. If there is underlying damage, the Sonic 1200 unit will reflect the depth of damage in need of repair. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Andrea Posey)

33rd AMXS Airman conducts hot pit refueling on F-35

An F-35A Lightning II taxis up to a fuel tank for hot pit refueling at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., May 13, 2016. This type of aircraft refueling is done while the engine is running to get jets back in the air more quickly and is a common practice during wartime. The alternative is to taxi the aircraft back to the sunshade, shut down, refuel, and re-start the aircraft. Hot pit refueling allows the 58th Fighter Squadron to maximize time flying the fifth-generation jet. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Andrea Posey)
