No crack left undetected

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Clarence Tobias, 86th Maintenance Squadron nondestructive inspection journeyman, measures the magnetism on a hoist hook on Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Sept. 6, 2017. Tobias briefly magnetized the hook so that black light-sensitive magnetic particles would align on the poles of any hairline fractures, making it possible for Tobias to detect them. 86th MXS NDI personnel are part of the extensive maintenance safety process that keeps the 86th Airlift Wing’s fleet and equipment in safe operating condition.
