The Aircrew Flight Equipment Maintainers of the 157th Fighter Squadron from McEntire Joint National Guard Base South Carolina, work behind the scenes to keep the F-16 pilots safe in the air. Without this crew, and the properly maintained equipment the pilots would not make it off the ground. Soundbites include TSgt. Toby Vice - NCOIC Aircrew Flight Equipment Shop, 157th Fighter Squadron and LTC. Scott Bridges - F-16 Pilot, 157th Fighter Squadron. Produced by SGT. Susan Noga, Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan.
