During a phase inspection, the 23d Maintenance Squadron Airmen depanel the aircraft to reach the internal workings and perform in depth examinations on A-10s after every 500 flight hours. These maintainers work day and night to ensure the aircraft are safe and reliable combat assets. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman Azaria E. Foster)
