21 SOS, SOAMXS commit to proficiency with CV-22 precautionary landing practice

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. William Burress, 21st Special Operations Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, guides palletized mattresses into position 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. The training opportunity exercises capabilities needed by both teams when emergency procedures are called upon in real-time. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Tristan Truesdell)
