Senior Airman Max Bustamante, 22nd Maintenance Squadron non-destructive inspection Airman, checks the amount of magnetic current emanating from a part, Jan. 25, 2016, at McConnell Air Force Base, Kan. NDI-Airmen run an electric current through aircraft parts to demagnetize the part so that it does not interfere with the compass on the aircraft while in flight. ( Air Force photo/Airman Jenna K.
