Fairchild’s Fabrication Flight ‘key’ to Stratotanker’s success

Staff Sgt. Joshua Hedden, 92nd Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintainer, removes jo-bolts from the main landing gear torque tube of a KC-135 Stratotanker in the Aircraft Structural Maintenance shop at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., April 26, 2012. Due to the age of the KC-135 Stratotanker and the heavy load it carries, a lot of the maintenance performed by this section deals with corrosion and cracks.
