Air Force Reserve Command

Come rain or shine

Tech. Sgt. Benjamin Perdido, Staff Sgt. Derrik Miller and Tech. Sgt. A.J. Hunt (kneeling), 749th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chiefs, conduct an operations check on the engine of a KC-10 Extender Feb. 9, 2017 at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. The Citizen Airmen worked through wind and rain throughout the day, but for these committed maintainers, it's business as usual supporting America's Air Force. Wrench Week brings together hundreds of 349th Air Mobility Wing reservist maintainers to learn, work and grow together. While their efforts enhance their readiness and skill sets, it also contributes a great deal of support to their active duty counterparts at Travis. (U.S. Air Force photo by Ken Wright)
