Staff Sgt. Matt Vincent, 77th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron aircraft equipment technician, inflates an anti-g suit to inspect for any leaks in the air bladders here, June 23. The suit is worn by F-16 Fighting Falcon pilots to combat the gravitational forces experienced during high speed maneuvers by keeping blood from leaving the brain and entering the lower extremities. Without the anti-g suits, pilots could lose consciousness during flight. Sgt. Vincent is deployed from Shaw Air Force Base, S.C.
