Wilson was shown the Reverse Engineering and Critical Tooling lab, where the techniques and product of reverse engineering and additive manufacturing were demonstrated. Wilson also visited the 552nd Air Control Wing, where Airmen shared Thanksgiving food with their families. She served food, ate lunch and spoke with 552nd ACW Airmen and their families one-on- one. “I wanted to thank all of you for what you and your families do for this country. I hope that over the holi- days, you’ll take some time just to step back and say thank you,” Wilson said to the wing. During the tour, Wilson was also briefed about the KC-135 programmed de- pot maintenance line and recent measures taken to cut the downtime of the aircraft. This shortened time is important for supporting the warfighter and keeping the fleet ready, she said. “That’s why it matters. It’s support for the warf- ighter and for the readi- ness of the force. They’re saving time, they’re saving money and they’re leading the way. It’s been an abso- lutely wonderful day here at Tinker Air Force Base,” Wilson said. 10 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2018 • THE ALTUS TIMES
