100th AMXS Airmen keep the wheels turning

RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Tech. Sgt. Preston Gallegos, 100th Maintenance Squadron aero repair craftsman, uses a laser thermometer to check the temperature of a KC-135 Stratotanker nose landing wheel here June 15, 2011. The wheel must be heated in a oven to a temperature between 200 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure that it’s expanded just enough for a replacement bearing cup to be fitted into it.
