A new vertical stabilizer pin, left, lays next to a rig pin – used to physically screw on the actual pin to help position and place it correctly – before a team of Airmen from the 100th Maintenance Squadron replace the old pin on a KC-135 Stratotanker at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, Feb. 24, 2023. Following a Time Compliance Technical Order inspection requirement stating some vertical stabilizer pins had to be replaced due to non-conformity, a detailed inspection was conducted here. As a precautionary measure, a team from 100th MXS immediately began replacing the affected pins found on some of RAF Mildenhall’s aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere)
