Master Sgt. Joshua Walker, 36th Rescue Squadron NCO in-charge of scheduling, conducts preflight checks before taking off for the 18,000 hour flight Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash, Jan. 11, 2018. Quality maintenance is what keeps the Hueys in the air. They receive routine inspections, one-time inspections and every eight years they go to a depot in North Carolina to receive a complete overhaul where the helicopter is taken apart and any structural or corrosion issues are fixed.
