Aircrew Flight Equipment technician Airman 1st Class Kristen, a member of the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing, places a high performance helmet in an F-22 pilot’s locker at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia, Nov. 11, 2016. “I maintain equipment like anti-gravity suits that enhance the pilots’ performance as well as survival vests that contain components such as recovery radios which help the pilot survive in a situation when they are to be rescued,” Kristen said.
