    U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Preston Hogan, left, an aircraft structural maintenance specialist with the 116th Air Control Wing (ACW), Georgia Air National Guard, operates a rotary punch to punch out radii on a piece of sheet metal for a prototype iPad holder that will be used on an E-8C Joint STARS while Staff Sgt. Anthony McConnell looks on, Robins Air Force Base, Ga., July 18, 2017. McConnell and Hogan were asked to design a holder for iPads used by pilots and co-pilots without modifying the original aircraft structure and that would also be quick to install and remove. The innovative team designed the original prototype in one day. Pilots use the iPads as a digital replacement for a stack of books that provide DoD flight information, airfield information, regulations, technical orders, checklists and more. Team JSTARS, consisting of the 116th ACW, active-duty 461st ACW and Army JSTARS, provides joint airborne command and control, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support over land and water to combatant commanders around the globe. The Total Force Integration unit operates the world’s only Joint STARS weapon system based out of Robins Air Force Base. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Master Sgt. Roger Parsons)
