Master Sgt. Chad Conroy and Tech. Sgt. Dakota Perkins, aircraft fuel system craftsmen assigned to the 910th Maintenance Squadron, use a breaker bar to loosen the bolts that affix a fuel tank to the wing of a C-130H Hercules aircraft at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, May 7, 2024. The maintainers removed the aircraft’s fuel tanks, a rarely performed operation, to store them for potential future use on the unit’s new C-130J-30 aircraft, slated to arrive at the installation this summer.
