Staff Sgt. Wilfredo Vargas, 911th Maintenance Squadron jet propulsion technician, reinstalls a translating fairing on a C-17 Globemaster III during a home-station check at the Pittsburgh International Airport Air Reserve Station, Pennsylvania, Oct. 27, 2021. The translating fairing guides and supports the engine's thrust reverser, which helps slow down the aircraft during landings enabling shorter landing distances while also reducing wear on the brakes.
