Hydraulic Work

Air Force Airman 1st Class Ian Cernetich, 62nd Maintenance Squadron hydraulics apprentice, removes a hydraulic pump from the engine of a C-17 Globemaster III at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., April 14, 2020. The 62nd Airlift Wing has initiated a minimal manning posture, and since maintenance airmen are mission essential, they must take precautions -- such as wearing protective masks -- to stay healthy while working on aircraft.
