The dedicated crew chief is the heart of the maintenance efforts on the F-22 raptor, they can recite how many combat bomb drops their jet has had, they clean their jet (above and beyond the requirement), and perform maintenance required on their jet. Each crew chief has a marked about of pride about the performance of his jet to the other, sort of like a father-child relationship, and their name is on the jet next to the pilot.

The pilots and their crew chief also share a bond that is unique between officer and enlisted in the military.
