23 OSS Aircrew Flight Equipment Airmen keep Moody AFB pilots safe

Long before an aircraft takes flight, Airmen assigned to the 23d Operations Support Squadron Aircrew Flight Equipment section inspect, maintain and prepare the life-saving equipment aircrew members depend on to complete the mission safely. From flight helmets and oxygen masks to survival vests and night vision goggles, AFE technicians ensure every piece of equipment meets strict inspection standards before it reaches aircrew. Their work directly supports the 23d Fighter Group’s mission by equipping pilots with reliable, vital equipment to generate combat air power.
