An Afghan Air Force C-208 maintainer performs a phase inspection of the aircraft controls Aug. 8, 2017, at Kabul Air Wing, Afghanistan. Recently, the maintainers accomplished an annual maintenance phase inspection within six weeks, meeting operational time standards and returning the aircraft to service. In the past, this type of maintenance inspection was led by advisors and contract personnel. This initiative by the maintainers is another step closer to the AAF becoming a professional, capable and sustainable force. ( Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Alexander W. Riedel)
