7 NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. The 926th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron continues their long standing relationship with the 482nd Fighter Wing, Homestead Air Reserve Base, Florida, Dec. 6-19, 2020.
The 12 maintainers have been working at Homestead ARB in support of the 482nd’s upcoming deployment.
“To have these relationships and to be able to assist when others deploy is great,” said Senior Master Sgt. Nicholas Hicks, 926th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron F-16 APG flight chief. “We are able to train in a different environment and atmosphere than home station.”
Hicks said the biggest advantage to this trip was for the Airmen to see how an Active Association operates, preparing them for when the 64th Aggressor Squadron at Nellis AFB, is converted from a Classic Association to an Active Association.
