    U.S. Air National Guard Airman Erika Maldonado, an aircrew flight equipment technician assigned to the 155th Operations Group, performs a pull test on a manifold from a flotation device checked and certified May 19, 2026, at the Nebraska National Guard air base in Lincoln, Nebraska. Aircrew flight equipment specialists inspect valves, washers and manifold components on survival rafts to ensure no debris or damaged parts compromise the equipment’s reliability. The test verifies the structural integrity of the connection points between the inflation system, valves and raft material before the equipment is returned to service.
