U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Beau Blackburn, a dedicated crew chief with the 35th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, removes the jet fuel starter drain line on an F-16 Fighting Falcon at Misawa Air Base, Japan, June 16, 2016. The aircraft Blackburn is assigned to operates as a CANN, which means it rests in a hangar for 30 to 60 days and is used for parts for other F-16s. Instead of needing new parts when an aircraft breaks, the current CANN provides a reliable and consistent supply of solutions. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jordyn Fetter)
