Behind the scenes with 86th MOS

Tech. Sgt. Jerry Peterson, 86th Maintenance Operations Squadron, performs a weight and balance check on a 40-year-old C-130 headed for the Aircraft Maintenance And Regeneration Center, more commonly known as the bone yard. Before each aircraft is sent to the AMARC it must go through a weight and balance check to ensure the aircraft is stripped of unnecessary items. The weight and balance check is also performed on other aircraft every two months. These checks are critical to mission success. The quality assurance inspectors who perform this additional duty, like Sergeant Peterson, are hand chosen by chiefs and squadron commanders. (U.S. Air Force Photo/A1C Kenny Holston)
