Airman 1st Class Andrew Willard helps conduct a 50-hour preventative maintenance inspection on aircraft 89-6205, an HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter assigned to the 56th Expeditionary Helicopter Maintenance Unit at Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan, July 24, 2013. The helo achieved the coveted black-letter initial exceptional release July 23, 2013, for the first time in the unit since 2005. After the ER was signed, the HH-60 launched as part of a mission attributed to saving two lives later the same day. Aircraft 89-6205 happens to be the same aircraft that attained the status for the unit eight years ago. Willard is a 455th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron electronic warfare craftsmen assistant.
