    Two military pilots in flight suits and survival gear walk across a flight line tarmac, appearing to have just completed a mission. In the background, an F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft marked 'AK 305' is parked on the ramp, indicating an Alaska Air National Guard unit. The setting appears to be Eielson or Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska based on the 'AK' tail code.

    U.S. Air Force Maj. Michael Kuzmuk, an 18th Aggressor Squadron pilot, and Airman 1st Class Victoria Ortaleza, a 354th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron electronic and environmental systems journeyman, walk to the F-16D Fighting Falcon aircraft they will fly in at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, May 4, 2016 during a RED FLAG-Alaska 16-1 sortie. With more than 500 tactical flying hours logged during each RF-A, maintainers work around the clock on various systems, each requiring a specialized Airman like Ortaleza who is responsible for working on the environmental control systems, which controls pressurization, heating and cooling throughout the equipment and cockpit, as well as oxygen systems.
