U.S. Air Force Airman Kobe Parquette, 56th Equipment Maintenance Squadron non-destructive inspection apprentice, uses UV lights to clean F-16 Fighting Falcon bolts, Feb. 17, 2026, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. NDI uses advanced technology to evaluate the integrity of metals and composite materials without requiring disassembly or destructive testing.
