Robert Noles, part of the C-130 strip crew, removes fuel foam from the inside of a right wing cavity. On some areas of the wing, workers are able to open a lid and effortlessly extract the material. But, there are other areas where crews must crawl inside the wing to get the job done. U.S. Air Force photo by Ed Aspera

Shown here, members of the 380th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron complete post-flight checks on a Global Hawk equipped with a battlefield airborne communications node at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia, April 1, 2017. The completion of this mission marked 1,000 consecutive sorties without a maintenance cancel while supporting Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve. These remotely piloted aircraft have provided a critical communication bridge between multi-national Coalition assets working to defeat ISIS in Iraq. (U.S. Air Force/Senior Airman Tyler Woodward)
