Cannibalism ensures fleet health

Senior Airman Justin Hahn, 723d Aircraft Maintenance Squadron electrical and environmental technician, checks a circuit break on an HH-60G Pave Hawk Feb. 12, 2020, at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia. Airmen with the 723d AMXS remove serviceable components from the ‘CANN Bird’ in order to return aircraft back to mission-capable status. A cannibalized aircraft, or CANN Bird, refers to an aircraft utilized as a temporary supply point for critical parts when lead time for those respective parts through the normal supply system/process is not sufficient enough to meet operational demands.
