U.S. Air Force airmen from the 49th and 849th Aircraft Maintenance Squadrons and members of the German Air Force Flying Training Center 2nd Maintenance Line prepare to lift a Tornado during a joint crash-recovery exercise of Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., Sept. 14. The purpose of the exercise was to determine if both the GAF and Holloman AFB, crash recovery teams have the capability to lift a fully-functional, fully-loaded aircraft off the ground. This capability allows the joint crash-recovery team to move an aircraft during an emergency. These teams are on standby 24 hours a day in case of emergency.
