What could you do with 10,000 dollars
Tech. Sgt. Tremaine Smith, 51st Maintenance Group, was recently awarded $10,000 through the IDEA program for discovering a better way to troubleshoot a fuel-flow problem with the A-10 Thunderbolt II close air support aircraft. He fought for almost two years to make the change, which was finally approved and saved the Air Force almost $90,000. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Chad Thompson)
