    Great video of the "tip of the iceberg" that is being a crewchief in the USAF. I crewed F-15 C/D's from 1991 to 2010. Then A-10C's from 2010 to 2013. Great memories on the flightline...but the 'launch and lounge' thing is just the beginning. My favorite shift was swings...tons of maintenance and cooler temps.

    Respect, I was a crew chief on 15s this job is by no means easy , constantly have to be on point being responsible for these jets and safety of the pilots. Constantly being exposed to extreme heat or extreme cold and working 12+ hour shifts thank you for your service and sacrifice 🇺🇸

    F4G wild Weasel and F16 crew chief in 90's. Saw lots of deployments overseas. Ball busting job. Looks shiny on camera but it's an highly detailed job with no room for error and 14 hour days. For those of you who choose this path I commend you. You are in the real Air Force.

    You have one heck of a job and I was in the Air Force for 24 years and worked on the B-52 D,G, and H models as a munitions maintenance specialist, and then on the A-10 Thunderbolt II, and lastly on the C-130, C-141, and C-5 aircraft before retiring. I always wondered what it would be like to work on the F-15 Strike Eagles and maintain them and you have a nice job and I wish you all the best in your career.

      @@carlkpsplucky5554 it’s not the same. Because DCC and ADCC get their names on the plane pilots don’t. and they assign the acft name. Also they are the primary maintainer, so some staff or tech will tell you “hey your plane has a hydro leak” and pilots fly whatever plane is ready fly they aren’t assigned a plane

      michael simpfenderfer Would really consider anything other than mx tbh, especially crew chiefs. In simple terms, crew chiefs are responsible for the whole plane. Specs like Hydraulics, Engines, GAC, etc take care of their respected systems on the plane (pretty much all the major systems on a plane). However crew chiefs pretty much handle the rest of shit specs don’t do.

    Typical "bed of roses" style film. Good film but not like the real thing. Long hours in the hot sun. We were worked like dogs and we did it with a force of first termers (most of whom left the service). Being a crew chief is indeed a ball busting job. I worked swing my first two and one half years. One thing we definitely did not need was 2Lts who thought they were better than every one. The next thing was four MSgts from QC coming out to inspect the work of an A1C with less than a year on board. How did they stay that clean after working? Good job but we were not allowed to visit base facilities after work because we were not IAW AFR 35-10 because our uniforms were proof we worked like dogs. Most pilots treated us with respect. I was a crew chief on the Wing Commander's Bird. He always treated me like his son. We all busted our butts for him. He had been POW. He could have had a Captain carry his balls out to fly but he did that job himself. A real hero. May he walk with our Lord today.
