'Fit' to fight
David Lee, left, and Todd Richardson take measurements in a hangar during tests to determine the suitability of the base's hangars to support the CV-22 Osprey Sept. 25 at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M. The men, who provide contract support for the CV-22 program, work for the Boeing Corp. at Fort Walton Beach, Fla. Cannon AFB will be transferred from Air Combat Command to Air Force Special Operations Command Oct. 1. CV-22s are among the special operations aircraft to be assigned to the 27th Special Operations Wing at Cannon AFB. The wing, formerly designated the 27th Fighter Wing, operated F-16 Fighting Falcons at the base from 1995 to 2007. (U.S. Air Force/Chief Master Sgt. Gary Emery)
