AFRL Tech Expo showcases readiness technologies
J.D. Bales, of the Air Force Research Laboratory, demonstrates the Air Force new C-5 tire changing tool to senior leaders from across the Air Force. The new tool requires two Airmen to change a tire with a tool adjustable in height and angle use on all tires with a faceplate designed for interoperability with all current spanner wrenches. The previous tool required five Airmen. The demo was part of an AFRL Tech Expo for the Basing and Logistics Board. (U.S. Air Force photo/Karen Schlesinger)
