050415-N-3122S-014 Okinawa, Japan (Apr. 15, 2005) - Aviation Machinist Mates, assigned to the " Tigers" of Patrol Squadron Eight (VP-8), work together to lower an auxiliary power unit (APU) of a P-3C Orion during maintenance. The APU is a relatively small self-contained generator used to start the main engines with compressed air, and to provide electrical power and air-conditioning while on the ground. The APU can be operated in flight for electrical power use, when bleed air is not available. Navy photo by PhotographerÕs Mate 3rd Class Shannon R. Smith (RELEASED) US Navy 050415-N-3122S-
