    An F-16 Fighting Falcon assigned to Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., sits on the flightline during Red Flag 15-4 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Aug. 19, 2015. The Wild Weasel concept was developed by the U.S. Air Force in 1965 and fighter pilots are still using the aggressive Wild Weasel tactics in today’s air war, carrying out the legacy of the Wild Weasel in campaigns around the world.

    A person's hand is working on the hub assembly of a white steel wheel rim. The image shows close-up detail of a manual locking hub or axle hub component being manipulated or inspected. The wheel appears to be from a truck or 4WD vehicle and shows signs of wear and dirt.
    Two individuals, one wearing a military camouflage uniform and another wearing black nitrile gloves, are operating a portable hardness tester. The equipment label identifies it as a 'Hardness Tester, Portable' with Stock No. 7CAD-B06615, Model PHT, manufactured by American Machine & Metals Inc. of East Moline, Illinois. The scene appears to be a military maintenance or quality control operation.
    A military F-16 Fighting Falcon jet aircraft is parked on a flight line tarmac while several ground crew technicians perform maintenance work underneath the fuselage. Multiple personnel in military uniforms are crouched beneath the aircraft near the nose gear area, with a red rolling tool chest nearby. The aircraft displays unit patches, red safety streamers, and wheel chocks, indicating it is secured during ground maintenance operations.
    Military aircraft maintenance personnel are working together on landing gear or a mechanical component beneath an aircraft. At least four individuals are visible, including one in US Air Force ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) camouflage and others in civilian or PT-style clothing. They appear to be performing hands-on maintenance or repair work on a complex mechanical assembly.
    Two maintenance technicians are working on the landing gear assembly of a USAF aircraft. They appear to be performing wheel or brake maintenance, with one technician holding a component while the other works on the hub assembly. A third person is partially visible in the background, and a photographer with a Nikon camera is visible at the far right.
    A young military aircraft mechanic is closely inspecting or servicing a component on the underside of a US military aircraft. He is wearing black nitrile gloves and safety glasses while working on what appears to be a wheel hub or brake assembly. The 'US' marking visible on the aircraft fuselage indicates this is a United States military aircraft.

    A person wearing safety goggles and black gloves is closely inspecting or working on a large wheel assembly, likely an aircraft landing gear wheel based on its size and white hub design. A second individual is visible in the background, also crouching near the same wheel. The foreground worker appears to be handling a thin wire or safety wire near the wheel hub.
    A USAF aircraft maintainer is seated on a tarmac performing maintenance work on the nose landing gear or associated component of a military jet aircraft. The technician is wearing a white t-shirt, black gloves, and sunglasses, and is closely inspecting or servicing a cylindrical component. Tools and a cloth with red hydraulic fluid stains are spread on the ground nearby.
