No crack left undetected

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Clarence Tobias, 86th Maintenance Squadron nondestructive inspection journeyman, uses a black light to inspect a hoist hook for hairline fractures on Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Sept. 6, 2017. 86th MXS NDI personnel use black lights and black-light sensitive mediums to inspect equipment and aircraft for small imperfections like hairline fractures, which, if left undetected, could lead to costly and dangerous malfunctions. NDI personnel are part of the extensive maintenance safety process that keeps the 86th Airlift Wing’s fleet and equipment in safe operating condition.
