00:00.956 --> 00:04.456
(upbeat electronic music)

00:10.262 --> 00:12.679
(rock music)

00:13.815 --> 00:16.615
- My favorite part about the 92nd AMXS is

00:16.615 --> 00:19.503
how we adapt and overcome in keeping aircraft

00:19.503 --> 00:23.670
that were built in 1956 to 1964 still flying in the air.

00:29.074 --> 00:31.017
- So the debrief section contributes to

00:31.017 --> 00:34.063
rapid global mobility by interfacing with the air crew.

00:34.063 --> 00:36.499
We in turn take any discrepancies they find on the

00:36.499 --> 00:39.021
aircraft in flight, relay those to the maintenance

00:39.021 --> 00:42.392
personnel on the ground, which in turn provides

00:42.392 --> 00:45.559
aircraft for future mobility missions.

00:47.426 --> 00:50.492
- I contribute to rapid global mobility by

00:50.492 --> 00:53.250
handing people tools so that they can do their mission,

00:53.250 --> 00:57.417
and I also etch tools so that if something comes up missing

00:57.419 --> 01:00.991
we can figure out where it goes to and who it belonged to.

01:00.991 --> 01:03.193
- As a flight line expediter my permanent job is basically

01:03.193 --> 01:06.655
to get the folks to the jets so they can fix them up,

01:06.655 --> 01:09.620
make sure that they're running perfectly safe.

01:09.620 --> 01:11.324
- So pretty much our job is electrical and environmental

01:11.324 --> 01:15.140
systems, we work on the power in the aircraft and helping

01:15.140 --> 01:16.997
everybody else get their jets in the air.

01:16.997 --> 01:19.914
(electronics whir)

01:21.060 --> 01:24.187
- The way that we contribute to rapid global mobility

01:24.187 --> 01:27.354
in upgrading to Block 45 is turning it from analog to

01:27.354 --> 01:30.071
digital, and what this does for the pilots is makes it

01:30.071 --> 01:31.654
more user-friendly.

01:32.879 --> 01:35.113
- My job is to ensure that the guidance and control systems

01:35.113 --> 01:38.400
on the aircraft are in proper working order for the pilots

01:38.400 --> 01:41.817
so they can go contribute to the mission.

01:46.028 --> 01:48.424
- I think it's a really good thing that everybody sticks

01:48.424 --> 01:51.144
together under one banner, to personify that whole

01:51.144 --> 01:52.477
wingman concept.

01:55.079 --> 01:57.746
(radio chatter)

01:58.241 --> 02:00.759
- I make sure that it's safe to fly, the aircrew is capable

02:00.759 --> 02:04.729
of flying without having any safety hazards, issues,

02:04.729 --> 02:06.135
or anything like that.

02:06.135 --> 02:09.302
We're just here to make airplanes fly.

02:09.473 --> 02:11.873
- As a flying crew chief, I generate aircraft

02:11.873 --> 02:13.377
prior to the mission and facilitate

02:13.377 --> 02:15.852
all station maintenance, worldwide.

02:15.852 --> 02:17.920
Pretty much wherever the mission takes us,

02:17.920 --> 02:20.670
sometimes with limited resources.

02:22.509 --> 02:24.623
- Maintenance airman are absolutely critical to

02:24.623 --> 02:26.540
enabling our Air Force,

02:28.810 --> 02:29.643
as well as our joint and coalition partners

02:29.643 --> 02:32.643
as they take the fight to the enemy.

02:36.511 --> 02:40.344
Our tankers put the "reach" in "global reach."

02:41.349 --> 02:44.035
And those tankers are maintained, launched, and recovered

02:44.035 --> 02:46.555
by AMXS airmen who work all hours of the day and night,

02:46.555 --> 02:49.805
exposed to the elements in all seasons.

02:50.372 --> 02:54.539
And that's how we contribute to rapid global mobility.
