A C-17 Globemaster III assigned to the 176th Wing sits inside a hangar for a home station check at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, March 27, 2018. The 3rd and 176th maintenance squadrons complete an in-depth, four-day scheduled inspection of a C-17 approximately every 180 days. A home station check is the behind-the-scenes maintenance that can prevent loss of life, lead to savings in time and money and keep the aircraft fit to fight.
