An Airman assigned to the 28th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron climbs a drop-down ladder into the cockpit of a B-1 bomber to complete pre-flight checks prior to a Red Flag 16-2 training sortie at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., March 3, 2016. High operations tempo and even higher temperatures are just two of many challenges faced by aircraft maintainers during Red Flag exercises, where consistent attention to detail is of vital importance.
