100th MXS team takes corrective, preventive measures to ensure 100th ARW tankers stay fit-to-fly

A new vertical stabilizer pin is fitted on the tail of a KC-135 Stratotanker at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, Feb. 24, 2023. Following a Time Compliance Technical Order inspection requirement stating some vertical stabilizer pins had to be replaced due to non-conformity, a detailed inspection of the 100th ARWs KC-135s was conducted. As a preventive measure, a team from 100th MXS immediately began replacing the affected pins found on some of RAF Mildenhall’s aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere)
