Into the mist: FOD walk keeps jets flying
Fairchild Airmen participate in a foreign object damage walk at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., Oct. 31, 2014. FOD walks ensure something as simple as a rock or pebble never has the chance of crippling a Team Fairchild jet. Members who find the legendary golden bolt receive a certificate and a day off from work. This year’s recipient is Airman 1st Class Ian Wyle, a 92nd Operations Support Squadron air traffic control apprentice. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
