U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Ethan Rentz, left, a 3rd Aircraft Maintenance Unit F-22 crew chief, Airman 1st Class Michael Southerland, middle, a 3rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron assistant dedicated crew chief, and Tech. Sgt. Kevin Fitch, a 3rd Aircraft Maintenance Unit F-22 crew chief, rebuild U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor tail number AF-07-146, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Nov. 29, 2021, after the aircraft was damaged in a crash in Nevada in 2018. Since F-22s are no longer manufactured, returning this jet to mission-capable and combat-ready status is important for not only 3rd Wing capabilities, but capabilities of the entire U.S. Air Force. The functional check flight is projected for March 2022. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Samuel Colvin)
