Maintenance technicians at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center in Georgia have worked with Boeing to acquire two maintenance platforms that will enable them to work under the wings of the C-17 airlifters more safely and more effectively, reports Amanda Creel. The pre-platform work was done via a man lift that had to be driven from spot to spot.
The Air Force pulled a KC-135 out of storage at the “Boneyard” in early April, three weeks after another one of the service’s Stratotankers crashed in Iraq during Operation Epic Fury.
