Air Force Senior Airman Kyle Lacy, a crew chief with the 35th Maintenance Squadron, performs a post-flight inspection on an F-16 Fighting Falcon during a surge exercise at Misawa Air Base, Japan, April 5, 2016. After aircraft land and return to their assigned crew chief, a post flight inspection is conducted to ensure the aircraft didn’t accrue damage. During the two-day operation, the amount of time allotted for these inspections is decreased which heightens the tempo and simulates a combat environment. Lacie hails from Eldorado, Arkansas.
