Master Sgt. Cody Ingemansen (foreground) discusses engine readouts to Tech. Sgt. Steven Pearson during a C-130 Hercules engine run Jan. 24 at Muniz Air Base, Puerto Rico. Sergeant Ingemansen, an engine technician, and Sergeant Pearson, an Active Duty C-130 crew chief from the 52nd Airlift Squadron, performed the engine run to ensure maintenance performed on each engine earlier was correctly accomplished. Both sergeants are deployed to Puerto Rico from the Air Force Reserve's 302nd Airlift Wing in Colorado. The wing is currently assigned to the 35th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron, which supports Air Expeditionary Force Coronet Oak. The deployed members have also provided support to Haiti earthquake relief operations. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Stephen J. Collier)
