Jonathan Turcios, 31st Maintenance Squadron Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory logistics noncommissioned officer in charge and Senior Airman Kristofer Bauer, 31st MXS Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory physical dimensional technician, inspect components of an F-16 Fighting Falcon external fuel tank during an External Fuel Tank Build-Up Exercise at Aviano Air Base, Italy, Aug. 12, 2026. The training expanded external fuel tank assembly capabilities beyond Aircraft Fuel Systems personnel to Airmen from multiple career fields.
