Keeping our runways mission ready is key to the ability of the United States Air Force to fly, fight, and win - anytime, anywhere. The 21-member Air Force Civil Engineer Center Airfield Pavement Evaluation team services more than 2 billion square feet of airfield pavement at more than 200 airfields around the globe. By employing advanced evaluation techniques, the APE team assesses baseline conditions and identifies requirements to keep flightlines safe, resilient and operational. In fiscal 2024, the team completed 15 evaluations and plans to evaluate 18 locations in 2025, focusing heavily on the Pacific region. The team also plans to complete further evaluations in partner Pacific nations in early 2026. Get the details: https://lnkd.in/eFWNry9r #USAF #defense #missionreadiness #AFMC #AVgeek #aviation

👏 Excellence all around--way to go, Air Force Sustainment Center team! A collaborative innovation effort by employees from air logistics complexes at Oklahoma City and Warner Robins is making Nondestructive Testing easier and faster. The team, as well as Cybernet Systems Corporation, has earned the Airlines for America and SAE International 20th Nondestructive Testing Innovation Award. The purpose of NDT is to evaluate materials, components and systems without damaging them. In the aviation industry, engineers and maintainers rely heavily on NDT during aircraft inspections to ensure an aircraft is safe to operate in its current condition, as well as help engineers determine what repairs, if any, are needed. The award was presented to recognize the development of a halo-lens-based NDT tracker tool that allows inspectors to perform their work digitally using augmented reality and transcribe their findings in real-time into a computer rather than having to draw out grids by hand and marking their findings manually. This technological achievement has resulted in a 20- to-30 percent decrease in inspection time, resulting in engineers being able to determine the airworthiness of a part significantly faster than before. #sustainment #aviation #aircraft #defense

Welcome home! 🏘️✈️🛩️ A trio of A-29 Super Tucano aircraft have arrived at Edwards Air Force Base where they will join a unique fleet at the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School Force Test Pilot School. The arrival marks the first newly assigned aircraft for the school in nearly 30 years. These A-29s were originally acquired by Air Force Special Operations Command but divested after mission requirements changed. The Air Force Test Center and school leadership saw these excess aircraft as a unique opportunity to expand the flight test and training capabilities at Edwards. While the A-29’s airframe design is perfect for spin testing, the Super Tucano also offers an array of modern avionics with the ability to externally hang equipment through various wing pylons. This will allow the school to conduct training and research on a variety of multi-domain sensors and weapons, reducing reliance on T-38 and F-16 aircraft while enhancing the ability to perform aspects of the developmental test mission.

🤖Bring on the bots! The Department of the Air Force Bot Operations Team, known as DAFBOT, held a weeklong event providing exposure to members of Tinker Air Force Base to Robotic Process Automation or RPA. Bots are used to automate repetitive, rule-based processes usually performed by a person. This may be entering data into a form, saving a file, or preparing a weekly email by pulling information from several different applications and submitting a writeup. Bots complete tasks quickly and accurately, are efficient, reduce errors, can be shared between users, save money and time, and are quick to be deployed, freeing users to complete other tasks. #automation #bots #roboticprocessautomation #USAF

🛩️We're making #history here at AFMC! Gary Hogg, an Air Force Materiel Command standards and evaluation civilian pilot surpassed the 10,000 flying mile mark Sept. 24 in an MC-130H II Hercules during a routine avionics modernization program test mission at Eglin Air Force Base. Hogg achieved the 10K mark-- the equivalent to 416 days and more than a full year of time-- piloting the Air Force’s various C-130 Hercules models across his 41-year career. Hogg’s first C-130 hour began Nov. 23, 1983 at Little Rock Air Force Base during qualification training after graduating the United States Air Force Academy and flight school. He's done tours in Europe, flew through storms in Haiti, worked in aircraft testing at Air Force Special Operations Command, supported depot operations at Robins Air Force Base and more prior to his current position. “The thought that keeps coming to me is how much I enjoy the team that it takes to fly a C-130,” says Hogg. “A smooth-running team is just pure joy in the air.” More: https://lnkd.in/gc7MsU_d Photos by Sam King Jr. #PeopleofAFMC #storiesofservice #AFcivilian #USAF #AVgeek

Members of the 533rd Commodities Maintenance Squadron Local Manufacturing Flight at Hill Air Force Base are producing more than 100 different parts for the U.S. Navy to upgrade recently acquired F-16 C/D models into Top Gun aggressor aircraft. The F-16s will replace some older Block 1 F-18 Rhinos. An aggressor or adversary squadron is trained to act as an opposing force in military wargames. Aggressor teams use enemy tactics, techniques, and procedures to give a realistic simulation of air combat. The F-16s from the Air Force provide the USN adversary community an extremely capable platform, which provide Blue Forces a dissimilar airframe to train against. Through close relationships with the USAF F-16 System Program Office, the USN will be able to provide future upgrades to these jets making them even more valuable as aggressor aircraft.

#ICYMI The Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center reorganization into an Air Force Forces staff structure, commonly referred to as an A-Staff, reached full operational capability Oct. 1. AFIMSC initiated the reorganization to improve communication, coordination and responsiveness across its nine major functional areas, ultimately supporting the center’s ability to execute national defense and Department of the Air Force priorities. #USAF #defense #reorganization
