Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill AFB, Utah, has teamed with Parker Aerospace to work hydraulic repairs on a number of aircraft, including the A-10, C-17, F-16, and F-22, reports the Hilltop Times. Center officials say the arrangement “is just the beginning” and will lead to cost savings and increased productivity.
