Airmen from the 86th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron prep their work area overlooking the flightline at Plovdiv Regional Airport, Bulgaria, March 14, 2017. The maintainers hang up netting to shield themselves from the rain, sun and wind for their 12 hour shifts during Exercise Thracian Spring 17, a two-week combined training with the Bulgarian Air Force. The exercise facilitates a joint training environment and aims to prepare Bulgaria for potential future operations in support of contingency operations worldwide. ( Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
