Just a phase: Preventative maintenance keeps jets airborne, pilots safe, mission successful

U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Cody HaysFugate, 51st Maintenance Squadron inspection section technician, performs maintenance on an F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft in the Phase Hangar at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea on Aug. 28, 2017. Between the G-forces and constant vibration F-16s experience, they take a lot of abuse in the skies. Each jet must be fully examined in the Phase Hangar when crossing their 400 flight-hour milestones. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Alex Fox Echols III)
