Fully qualified (AFSC 2A373) 7-level tactical aircraft maintenance craftsman crew chief on the F-15 Eagle fighter aircraft. I posses a military drivers license, secret military security clearance, and red X orders. I am assigned to the aircraft phase inspection section of the 120AW Maintenance Squadron.


My duties are to perform phase inspections on the F-15 Eagle fighter aircraft to ensure that all aspects are functional. After every 400 and 1200 flight hours these inspections are completed. During these inspections I perform maintenance such as removing, inspecting, and installing hydraulic components, flight control surfaces, aircraft engines, canopy system components, landing gear, and many other components. I also accomplish all rigging of flight control components including surfaces, cables, bell cranks, pulleys, control rods, and various other items. I also perform all canopy system rigging and operational checks. Aircraft jacking, landing gear rigging, and landing gear operational checkouts are also duties I perform. Assist in performing weight and balance of aircraft with quality assurance to ensure aircraft weight is within limits that will not affect aircraft flight.

I have skills and perform the use of equipment to load aircraft with external fuel tanks, travel pods, and pylons. I perform a variety of inspections on the integrity of the structure of the aircraft to ensure it is flight worthy. Such inspections include identifying cracks, corrosion, and missing or loose fasteners. I identify any findings that may affect the health of the aircraft and ensure they get fixed by either myself or a specialist. When I have determined that components are damaged beyond repair I ensure the component is ordered using the supply system and keep updated on the arrival to plan the corresponding maintenance to prevent any delays. I review maintenance forms, aircraft records, maintenance data systems, and historical reports to ensure complete documentation is annotated. Phase inspections that I am assigned as the Dedicated Crew Chief, in addition to performing maintenance, I also create and direct a plan on how the inspection will get done in the most efficient way to meet the required time to prevent any loss of aircraft sorties. This plan includes providing direction to multiple specialists that are needed to complete the phase inspection, ensuring aircraft forms are completed and accurate, and informing supervision of the current status and updates of the inspections.


I also perform aircraft launch and recovery duties of the F-15 Eagle. During aircraft launch and recovery I perform various inspections to verify aircraft is safe for flight such as pre-flight, post-flight, end of runway, power on, and thru-flight inspections. Duties I perform are fueling and defueling of aircraft, hydraulic fluid servicing, tire servicing, liquid oxygen servicing, nitrogen servicing and oil servicing. I am fully qualified and perform engine intake and exhaust inspections. Inspect and operate powered and non powered aerospace ground equipment are duties performed regularly.

I also am a trainer for maintenance performed on the F-15 aircraft. I have trained several traditional guardsmen on tasks performed on the aircraft such as 3, 5, and 7 level core tasks. These tasks are critical and required for individuals to progress in their career as a crew chief. Not only have a trained, qualified, and certified individuals to become fully qualified, I have trained others on critical inspection areas and operational checks performed during the phase inspection of the F-15. Many of the individuals that I have trained have been recognized to be highly qualified, very knowledgeable with aircraft systems and components and have gone on to be hired as full time technicians in the Montana Air National Guard.
