Behind every mission is a team of maintainers making sure those aircraft are ready to go. From inspections and repairs to troubleshooting and keeping everything mission-ready, aircraft maintenance is a huge part of what makes the mission possible.
If you like working with your hands, solving problems, working around aircraft, and knowing that what you do directly contributes to the mission, aircraft maintenance might be worth looking into.

What happens between parachute drops can be just as important as the jump itself.

During a Sept. 23 training mission over Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, an Alaska Air National Guard HC-130J Combat King II crew supported active-duty Army and Air National Guard parachutists at three different jump altitudes, all in less than two hours of flight time.

Between passes, loadmasters re-rigged equipment and prepared the next group of jumpers while the aircrew collected wind data and calculated where each group needed to exit the aircraft.

“Everyone needs to be on the same page to make everything happen,” said Tech. Sgt. Kimberly Gunia, a loadmaster with the 211th Rescue Squadron. “If there are issues or confusion, we pause the checklist and do not proceed until it is cleared up.”

Read more about the planning, coordination and work happening between the jumps.
