U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. David Pesta and Senior Airman Ethan McCausland, 21st Special Operations Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chiefs, secure palletized mattresses for a precautionary landing practice to the tarmac at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Oct. 7, 2024. To ensure synchronized efforts between operations and maintenance teams, the 21st Special Operations Squadron and SOAMXS conducted multiple practices involving a CV-22 Osprey with simulated malfunctioning landing gear.
