Maintaining aircraft for Atmospheric River missions

Senior Airman Daiquiri Burton, 403rd Maintenance Squadron propulsion technician, watches as the safety spotter during the the use of the two-person lift during the repair of a rudder acuator on a WC-130J Super Hercules. Members of the 403rd Maintenance Group ensure the aircraft are maintained for the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron to fly ARs in the Pacific Ocean Basin from 1 January through 31 March as a specific part of the National Winter Season Operations Plan.
