Phase Airmen keep B-52s ready to fight

Airmen with the 2nd Maintenance Squadron phase hangar perform a periodic inspection on a B-52H Stratofortress on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Nov. 24, 2014. A periodic inspection is performed on all aircraft with more than 450 flight hours. Access panels are removed and inspected by engineers. Each inspection is a 14-day phase starting with panel removal and 11 maintenance flights inspect each component of the aircraft looking for defects. Once finalized, phase Airmen completely reassemble the aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Mozer O. Da Cunha).
