F-35A AFE Airmen are pioneers in flight equipment

Senior Airman Sean Gregory, 33rd Operations Support Squadron aircrew flight equipment technician, measures a hook blade knife lanyard at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., Feb. 29, 2016. The knife is worn by pilots as a safety precaution. Should they need to egress from the aircraft for any reason the knife would be used to cut the parachute lines. Flight equipment technicians at the 33rd Fighter Wing have been responsible for over 241 action reports used across the program for the maintenance of F-35 flight equipment and are responsible for providing pilots reliable equipment.

33rd FW nondestructive inspection Airmen inspect F-35

Nondestructive inspection Airmen check an F-35A Lightning II panel for wear and tear at Eglin Air Force Base Fla., May 16, 2016. These specialists use a transducer and a Sonic 1200 to inspect the inner layers of metal objects for metal fatigue resulting from the daily function of jets. The transducer creates sound vibrations and sends the readings to the Sonic 1200 to reveal the depth of damage inside the metal of an aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Andrea Posey)
