Airshow Emergency Mangagement Exercise

During an Emergency Management Exercise, Osan responders reacted to a simulated A-10 that collided with a CH-47, which then crashed into a static display during an airshow, here Oct. 5. Fifth-graders from Osan Middle School helped with the exercise, giving it a 'real-feel'. The students were moulaged up and spread across the flight-line serving as victims for first responders with wounds ranging from smoke inhalation to protruding insides. This exercise gave Osan responders a chance to shine while responding to a very possible emergency scenario. (U.S. Air Force Photo by/Staff Sgt. Daylena Gonzalez)

What could you do with 10,000 dollars

A view of the 39-pin cannon plug (top right) that connects the A-10 Thunderbolt II close air support aircraft engine to the fuel-flow gauge in the cockpit. Smith found two wires that were swapped in the wiring harness that was causing a fuel-flow problem. Hundreds of feet of wire connect the fuel-flow gauge in the cockpit to the fuel-flow transmitter in the engine. Had Smith not found the issue with the swapped wires the next step in the technical orders would have been replacing the wiring harness, which would have taken hundreds of man hours and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to replace.

The fuel-flow transmitter regulates the fuel that goes to the engine and sends a signal back to the pilot that tells how much fuel is being sent to the engines. “It’s a critical system component that gets the engines going and keeps the aircraft in the air,” Tech. Sgt. Tremaine Smith said. “Without it the pilots would never get off the ground.” Hundreds of feet of wire connect the fuel-flow gauge in the cockpit to the fuel-flow transmitter in the engine. Smith found two wires that were swapped in this harness that was causing a problem in an A-10 Thunderbolt II when he was stationed at Davis Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech.
