BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq -- Tech. Sgt. Brad Smith conducts a final inspection on hook lever bolts along the sides of an F-16 Fighting Falcon cockpit. If a pilot must eject, the bolts break off, releasing the canopy. Sergeant Smith is the 510th Aircraft Maintenance Unit's aircrew egress supervisor here.
