Scott Mathisen, 133rd Maintenance Squadron, tests the micro-unit on a trimming status panel in St. Paul, Minn., April 7, 2022. Bethel, Mayer, and Mathisen represent maintainers from five different maintenance squadrons who came together to repair aging lighting control units for their C-130 H3 Hercules fleets. This ingenuity restored the operational status of 11 of 16 lighting control units and saved the Air Force approximately million dollars.
