During a major periodic inspection of a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to RAF Mildenhall, Airman 1st Class Joel Buchanan, a 100th Maintenance Squadron crew chief, lubricates the right wing, July 11, 2007. "As a general rule I gravitate toward the most greasy, sweaty, undesirable jobs. I can blame John Lennon for this because I've been on a working class hero kick ever since hearing his song of the same name. I sometimes enjoy walking across base with oil and soot on my face lest anyone question my credentials as such," Airman Buchanan said. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Tracy L. DeMarco)
