Maintainers ‘ERC’ it out!
Senior Airman Joshua Thompson and Airman 1st Class James Fulton, both 509th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chiefs, use communication cords to speak to pilots while performing pre-flight checks at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., Feb. 24, 2014. As technical experts on the B-2 Spirit, crew chiefs work directly with the aircraft, ensuring pilots have the most reliable, mission-capable aircraft possible to complete the mission.
