Rescue maintainers remove Pave Hawk spindles

Tech. Sgt. James Clair, 920th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron electrical and environmental systems technician, removes a spindle from an HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter's main rotor head inside a maintenance hangar at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida, Jan. 3, 2024. These spindles will replace corroded ones on another Pave Hawk. The spindles are being removed from this Pave Hawk because it's scheduled for retirement to the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group in Arizona later this month, marking the beginning of the wing's conversion to the new HH-60W Jolly Green II.
