U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Tristan Eskridge, 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron pavements and heavy equipment craftsman, uses hand signals to direct his wingmen in securing a crane to a KC-135 Stratotanker vertical stabilizer for its removal at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, Sept. 16, 2023. Between the 379th ECES, 379th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, and 379th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron, a team of Airmen successfully removed the vertical stabilizer from the aircraft to conduct maintenance on the rudder, which is used to control aircraft yaw, the rotation of the vertical axis of the plane.
