Chad Clement, U.S. Air Force 97th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron hydraulic specialist, visually inspects a KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft’s landing gear down lock at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma, Jan. 30, 2026. A downlock mechanically locks the landing gear in the fully extended position so it can’t retract and is safe to land on. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Nathan Langston)
