    Tech. Sgt. Gregory Kirchner, 92nd Maintenance Squadron aircraft metals technology craftsman, scans a KC-135 Stratotanker part with the unit’s new 3-D laser imaging arm March 25, 2015, at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. The reverse engineering aspect of the ROMER Absolute Arm is extremely crucial as many parts needed to keep the KC-135 mission-capable are no longer made and with aircraft boneyards running out of spare useable parts, this technology’s importance couldn’t be timelier.
