Prepare to lift

Staff Sgt. Gregory Kunz, 55th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, prepares to fill an RC-135V/W Rivet Joint strut with nitrogen at Royal Australian Air Force Base Edinburgh, South Australia, July 8, 2025. Nitrogen is a stable gas, desirable for drastic temperature changes and allows the strut to compress safely. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Chris Thornbury)
