Airman 1st Class Jirus Thomas and Airman Marcos Villatoro, 362nd Training Squadron F-15 crew chief apprentice course students, work on some airplane parts at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, August 1, 2018. The students are working on the F-15's arresting hood damper, which prevents the emergency landing gear from bouncing back up and damaging the aircraft when it is deployed. During each inspection the arresting hood damper is one of the items on the list, seeing that without this piece emergency landings will be more reckless and dangerous.
