Ground crews keep MAFFS aircraft in the fight

Senior Airman Sam Schwellenbach, a hydraulics mechanic assigned to the 302nd Maintenance Squadron, checks the pressure of a Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System-equipped C-130 rear tire after the aircraft returned from a day of flying sorties on the River Complex fires in Northern California Aug. 5, 2015. As soon as the MAFFS-equipped C-130s are done flying for the day, the maintainers go to work to ensure they are ready for action the next day. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Daniel Butterfield)
