Tech. Sgt. Joel Pfeiffer, 434th Maintenance Squadron repair and reclamation technician, moves to remove a tail pin on aircraft 60-0314 on March 16, 2023. The pin replacement was mandated by a time compliant technical order issued recently that grounded KC-135R Stratotankers that didn’t meet required specifications.
