Reaching for new heights

Chief Master Sgt. Steve McDonald, 86th Airlift Wing command chief, checks his progress as he ascends the communications tower in Bann, a small town near Ramstein Air Base. Chief McDonald, with 86th Airlift Wing commander Brig Gen Bill Bender, and 86th Air and Space Communications Group commander Col James Foley, spent the day at the tower with the 1st Communications Maintenance Squadron's Cable & Antenna Theater Maintenance Team on 28 Oct. The team, which is the largest antenna maintenance work center in USAFE, is responsible for nearly 600 antenna systems across Europe as well as training and certifying all tower climbers in USAFE.
