Eric Simmons, C-5 mechanic, works on inboard cargo rails during programmed depot maintenance at Robins Air Force Base. The Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex's 559th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron has met 100 percent of its due date performance goals for programmed depot maintenance. That means the squadron has produced a total of 30 PDM aircraft and 21 unscheduled depot level maintenance C-5s from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2015, which closes out Sept. 30. With those aircraft returned on time, that’s another C-5 that can transport troops as well as much-needed equipment and material downrange, or move special space mission payloads for NASA or Air Force Space Command to their launch site.

The C-5 Galaxy is an aircraft with an interior and exterior combined paint weight of 2,600 pounds, more than 100 miles of wiring, over 5 miles of control cables and can haul 58 Cadillacs or six standard Greyhound buses. The maintenance demands are extreme. But, the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex ensures the aircraft is ready when its needed. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Kelly Goonan)

Robins Air Force Base is the first installation hosting an air Logistics Complex to receive an RQ-4 Global Hawk for paint and depaint work. 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)
