LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Tech. Sgt. David Alsip, an Air Force reservists, demonstrates how light a new C-5 maintenance stand is. Despite its lack of heft, the stand is solid and helps disperse the maintainer's weight, putting less stress on the engine cowling. The engine stand was designed and developed by Sergeant Alsip and the rest of the 433rd Airlift Wing fabrication shop. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Staff Sgt. Bethaney Trapp)
