ISO dock keeps rescue aircraft in check

Senior Airman Brandon Hamdan, 920th Maintenance Squadron crew chief, and Staff Sgt. Bryam Trebejo, 920th MXS isochronal dock mechanic, work to remove panels during a letter B isochronal inspection for a 39th Rescue Squadron HC-130J Combat King II aircraft at Patrick Space Force Base, Fla., April 6, 2025. Isochronal inspections are increasingly in-depth throughout the three-letter cycle and allow maintainers from varying shops and specialties to strip down the aircraft to identify any deficiencies, structural issues, or other repairs needed. To ensure longevity of the fleet, the Air Force's C-130 airframes are required to undergo an isochronal inspection every 540 days. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Kristen Pittman)
