Air Force Senior Airman Devin Ross, an 18th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, conducts preflight procedures prior to an F-15C Eagle flight at Misawa Air Base, Japan, June 13, 2017. Due to its strategic location in northern Japan, Misawa AB is a hub for contingency operations for airframes and units forward deployed across the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. It is important during trainings like these to test the abilities of the pilots and maintainers who work alongside the aircraft. Ross is assigned to Kadena Air Base, Japan.
