SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. --

Team Scott members, crew chiefs from the 932nd Maintenance Squadron and pilots from 73rd and 54th Airlift Squadrons, continue training flights and maintenance checks during COVID-19.  

"Our jets require movement, towed if not flown, and engines ran every several days. We are completing these tasks during reduced flying operations and at the same time performing mandatory certification training," said Reserve Citizen Airman, Capt. Aaron Wolfe, 932nd Airlift Wing, Maintenance Group, maintenance operations officer.
