Karen A. picks up the gauntlet

Karen Abeyasekere, right, 100th Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs, waits for the signal of flashing lights from Capt. Clint Albaugh,aircraft commander, and Capt. Chris Saettel, co-pilot, (both from the 351st Air Refueling Squadron) aboard a KC-135 Stratotanker, Jan. 22, 2010. The event was part of a series of stories in which Ms. Abeyasekere experiences Air Force tasks first hand, and then writes about them for the base public Web site. This particular story focused on crew chiefs and marshaling aircraft. Staff Sgt. Glenn Hendrix, left, 100th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, stands close by to offer assistance and ensure the correct marshaling signals are given so the aircraft can take off safely. Sergeant Hendrix, a crew chief, regularly marshals base aircraft, which is one of the many aspects of his job. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Jerry Fleshman)
