Brake it down
Tech. Sgt. Chris Reiter and Airman 1st Class Ryan McMillen team up on the jack lifting the more than 300,000 pounds of a KC-135 Stratotanker as Airman 1st Class James Giesick removes the dust cover Sept. 28 at an air base in Southwest Asia. The tire needed to be removed and the brake unit replaced after a crack in the heat shield was detected during a post-flight inspection. Sergeant Reiter is assigned to the 340th Aircraft Maintenance Unit. He is a native of Farmington, N.M., is deployed from Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. Airman Giesick is from San Diego and deployed from Grand Forks AFB, N.D. Airman McMillen is a native of Warsaw, Ill., and deployed from McConnell AFB, Kan. They are assigned to the 340th Aircraft Maintenance Unit. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Michael Boquette)
