379 AEW innovates, conducts KC-135 fin removal

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Robert Denham, 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron pavements and heavy equipment craftsman, saws off metal rods attached to Jersey barriers in preparation for a KC-135 Stratotanker vertical stabilizer removal at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, Sept. 16, 2023. The 379th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron repurposed disposed mattresses, which were placed atop the Jersey barriers to safely lay down the vertical stabilizer for maintenance. The combined efforts of four squadrons resulted in the successful removal of the vertical stabilizer to allow maintainers to fix its rudder. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Devin Boyer)
