Making a stand

Staff Sgt. Christopher Klaus, 100th Maintenance Squadron ISO dock controller, uses a new mobile maintenance stand, purchased as part of an Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century project, to install the lower aileron lockout access panel on the left wing of a KC-135 Stratotanker Dec. 9, 2009. December 9 was a repanel day, when 11 ISO dock members took part in installing 250 panels, prior to the aircraft removal from the hangar for engine runs. The mobile stands, used in-place of the old wing stands, cost the Air Force about $100,000 for seven stands. The stands have already saved more than 600 man-hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars. (U.S. Air Force photo/Karen Abeyasekere)
