Staff Sgt. Jesse Sosa, 89th Maintenance Group flying crew chief, performs a walk-around inspection of a 1st Airlift Squadron C-40B tail as part of pre-flight checks at Prestwick Airport, Scotland, Feb. 7, 2017. Much of the success of 1st AS missions can be attributed to FCCs, who enabled a percent departure reliability rate in 2016.
