Flight line check

Staff Sgt. Ricardo Miguez, 920th Rescue Wing HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter maintenance reservist, performs an operations check on a helicopter pre-flight. The reservists here have a rigorous training schedule that includes flying day and night to simulate any environment they may have to, one day, perform a life saving mission. Maintaining the aging fleet of aircraft is a full time job for maintenance reservists. The 920th RQW also has Pave Hawk helicopters and reserve maintenance crews at its geographically separated unit, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., and a rescue squadron at Portland International Airport, Ore.
