U.S. Airmen from the 314th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron are proud of the fact that, "if it's in the air, maintenance put it there." 314th AMXS maintainers work nearly every day of the year to ensure more than 20 C-130J aircraft are fit to fly. The maintainers certify aircraft are safe and functioning properly to meet training and operational requirements. Because of maintainers, pilots in training receive essential flying hours that are necessary for graduation from the C130 Center of Excellence.
