Prepare for takeoff

Senior Airman Darren Precht, 48th APS air transportation journeyman, settles into his seat aboard a KC-10 Extender. Precht said he’s looking forward to his annual tour training because of the learning opportunities he can’t fit into a UTA. “I picked up most of my job experience during my annual tour [last year] at Hickam,” Precht said. “I got a pretty good feel of inbound and outbound procedures and overall operation. Different bases operate differently, so I’ll get another experience from a different base on this trip.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Richard Gonzales)
