Crew chiefs from the 163d Aircraft Maintenance Squadron conducted fuel systems maintenance on an MQ-9 Reaper aircraft, March Air Reserve Base, Calif., June 2, 2026. A fuel leak was detected on the aircraft, and the source was traced to a faulty fuel bladder. To conduct fuel systems maintenance, crew chiefs are required to ground additional equipment, take air quality measurements, and employ additional protective measures to ensure the safety of those conducting the maintenance.
