Man, Metal, and Sky

Senior Airman Jonathan Ordonez prepares to cover a KC-135 Stratotanker engine after a refueling mission in July 2010. The airplane was participating in this year's Rim of the Pacific exercise at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, which involved 14 nations, 34 ships, five submarines, roughly a hundred aircraft, and more than 20,000 people. Airman Ordonez is a crew chief with the 507th Aerial Maintenance Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.
