'Today's Air Force' features Airmen maintainers

  • Published
This week's edition of "Today's Air Force" highlights an explosive ordnance disposal squadron in Afghanistan. Also, the U.S. Air Force is known for its air power, but making its presence felt all over the world takes a toll on the aircraft. Watch how a team of Airmen on the ground keep B-1B Lancers in the sky.

Finally, the humanitarian efforts of Airmen don't just occur overseas or in disaster areas, but in some cases, happen in their own backyards. See what one Air Force family is doing to make their high-crime neighborhood safe in southeast Newport News, Va.
