Cannibalism ensures fleet health
Staff Sgt. Joshua Hau, 723d Aircraft Maintenance Squadron communication navigator journeyman, prepares to remove a Symbol Generator Unit mount 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.
