Aircraft Maintenance Is a Critical Job at YARS

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Aircraft maintenance work is a critical occupation at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station, especially since the base will be replacing its existing fleet of C-130H aircrafts over the next two years.

“I am in charge of all the maintenance on the aircraft,” says staff Sgt. Danielle Wiesen, a C-130 crew chief and maintainer. “I’m the one that says it’s air-worthy and turn it over to ops and say you guys are able to fly it.”

Wiesen is assigned a single aircraft to oversee, a C-130H that is parked in a large hangar at the base. Additional training, she notes, will be necessary once more of the modern C-130Js arrive.
