A-10 'assembly-line' maintenance concept a model of efficiency
Following installation of the AAR-47 infrared missile warning system, 124th Maintenance Squadron electrician Master Sgt. Scott Johnson conducts a continuity check to ensure the system is running properly. The Idaho Air National Guard based at Gowen Field, Boise, Idaho, has employed 45 maintainers full-time for at least one year to perform this assembly line-style Consolidated Install Program on roughly one third of the Air Force's A-10 Thunderbolt II fleet.
