Air Force Tech. Sgt. Louis Jones and Staff Sgt. Allen Jauw, both with the 191st Maintenance Squadron MXS, hook up hoses to an air regulator during a training exercise Aug. 13, 2011, at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich. The 191st MXS performed an exercise where it simulated a Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft had damaged nose gear and a crane was needed to move the aircraft to a safe location for repair. The air system was used to fill a series of bladders that could cushion the tail of aircraft while the nose of the aircraft was lifted by a crane. Tech.
