Members of the 56th Component Maintenance Squadron

Members of the 56th Component Maintenance Squadron propulsion flight work on an F-16 Fighting Falcon F100-220 engine at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz., Feb. 28, 2017. The Propulsion Flight shop is a vital cog in keeping the F-16s in the air. Its mission is to provide timely, safe and reliable jet engines to reduce unnecessary flightline engine removals or engine maintenance in the pursuit of the wing's mission. Most F-16s at Luke use the Pratt and Whitney F-100-PW-220 engine. The typical process of maintenance is composed of six parts, which are receiving, teardown, inspection, buildup, test cell and the final part, which include inspections of the engine and forms.
