U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Declan Murphy, 62d Aircraft Maintenance Squadron avionics technician for the Phoenix Aircraft Maintenance Unit, reconnects a flight control computer aboard a C-17 Globemaster III at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, March 27, 2026. Murphy removed the computer as part of an acceptance package inspection, which helps determine if an aircraft left in depot is operationally ready to return to the fleet. This was one of many inspections performed by the newly formed Phoenix AMU, a section of the 62d Maintenance Group dedicated to ensuring all of C-17s under the 7th Airlift Squadron are fit to flight.
