POPE AFB, N.C.—Airman 1st Class Jacob Kinkade (left) and Tech. Sgt. Darin Ward disconnect a C-130 Hercules rudder from a vertical stabilizer just before lowering it to maintainers. The 23-foot rudder, weighing about 250 pounds, was removed to allow other maintenance. The rudder is the aircraft’s largest primary flight control responsible for the aircraft’s direction in flight. The Airmen are both assigned to the 43rd Maintenance Squadron’s aerospace repair section here. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Robert Weymouth)
