Senior Airman Graham Willis and Staff Sgt. Ferdinand Brown watch as an F-16 Fighting Falcon idles before going into full afterburner during an engine run up July 16 at Joint Base Balad, Iraq. The mechanics on the ground examine the engine during the run up checking for leaks, smoke or anything else that may fail while the mechanic in the cockpit goes through a checklist of gauges and components. Airman Willis and Sergeant Brown are 77th Aircraft Maintenance Unit engine mechanics deployed from Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Julianne Showalter (RELEASED)
