Maintainers save man-hours with AFSO 21 changes
Tech. Sgt. Roy Wiggen takes a look at an E-3 Sentry as it has its annual isochronal inspection April 4 at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. Inspections were done every 180 days, but through Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st century processes the inspections were changed to once a year, saving the Air Force time and money, and allowing theater commanders more use of the E-3. Sergeant Wiggen is assigned to the 552nd Maintenance Group Quality Assurance Division. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Stacy Fowler)
