Walk a mile in the boots of a maintainer
Senior Airman Earl Shelton, 721st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron aerospace maintenance technician, marshals a C-5M Super Galaxy into place at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Jan. 24, 2017. After it was in place, 721st AMXS Airmen chocked the wheels, plugged it into a generator, checked tire pressure, refilled oil, and refueled the aircraft. On average, the 721st AMXS inspects, services, and repairs 30 aircraft in a single day, as part of the 521st Air Mobility Operations Wing at Ramstein.
