442nd Fighter Wing gets "it" done rain or shine
WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. - Morning sunlight slips into the A-10 Thunderbolt II hanger as Tech Sgts. Shaun McCrea, Wesley Peel and Staff Sgt. Dean Gross, 442nd Fighter Wing, work together to download a weapon from the wing of an A-10 Thunderbolt II during an Operational Readiness Inspection, Oct. 24. 442nd FW personnel worked around the clock in cold and wet weather conditions during the four-day exercise. The ORI prepared Airmen for real-world deployment situations such as chemical and biological attacks and other scenarios. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Kenny Holston)(Released)
