Civilian maintainers: an integral part of AF mission
Jason Nesser, M1 Support Services fuel systems lead, inspects the fuel system of a T-6A Texan II on Oct. 29, 2020, at Columbus Air Force Base, Miss. Because of its excellent thrust-to-weight ratio, the T-6 can perform an initial climb of 3,100 feet (944.8 meters) per minute and can reach 18,000 feet (5,486.4 meters) in less than six minutes.
