Staff Sgt. Bradley Barnes, an engine systems specialist with the 380th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron, prepares the throttle cable during an engine replacement on an Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft, or E-3 Sentry. The normal fix-time to remove and replace an AWACS engine is 18 hours. The maintainers here have become so adept at the process; they can remove and replace an engine in less than nine hours. This rotation of 380th EAMXS E-3 maintainers has replaced an unprecedented six engines in 120 days.
