Joint Crash-Recovery Exercise

U.S. Air Force Airmen from the 49th and 849th Aircraft Maintenance Squadrons and members of the German Air Force Flying Training Center 2nd Maintenance Line lift a Tornado off the ground during a joint crash-recovery exercise on the flight-line of Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., Sept. 14.

This capability allows the team, which is on standby 24 hours a day, to move an aircraft during an emergency. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Michael Shoemaker/Released)
