Maintainers take care of C-40C launch preparation
Executing the mission: 932nd Airlift Wing's Maintenance Group (MXG), is responsible for leading people who are always training and equipping Airmen to inspect, maintain and repair Air Force Reserve Command C-40C planes at Scott Air Force Base. The 932nd MXG's management of resources improves the wing's professionalism and enables the 932nd Operations Group's C-40C aircraft to fly distinguished visitor (DV) airlift around the world where needed by the nation's leaders. Here, two maintainers make a last minute checks on the plane before it leaves on a cold January 4, 2017 day. The Illinois unit, which is part of 22nd Air Force, under Air Force Reserve Command, flies four of the C-40C planes. (U.S. Air Force photo by Lt. Col. Stan Paregien)
