SSgt William Mitchell, 455th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron aerospace propulsion craftsman, files a damaged section of a turbine fan at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Sept. 5, 2017. To avoid corrosion, the titanium fan blade must be repaired with a specialized file of the same metallic composition. A turbine fan repair would normally involve shipping the engine to Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, but the team was qualified to make the repairs in theater.
