Tinker AFB Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex is responsible for depot maintenance on the C/KC-135, B-1B, B-52 and E-3 aircraft
Taken on May 18, 2017 the cool picture in this article features a lightning striking behind a B-1B Lancer parked on the flight line as a major storm approaches Tinker Air Force Base (AFB), Okla.
As it can be seen the B-1B is at Tinker AFB undergoing depot level maintenance and has been stripped of the majority of its paint.
Actually Tinker AFB Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex is one of the largest units in the Air Force Materiel Command. The complex performs programmed depot maintenance on the C/KC-135, B-1B, B-52 and E-3 aircraft; expanded phase maintenance on the Navy E-6 aircraft; and maintenance, repair and overhaul of F100, F101, F108, F110, F117, F118, F119 and TF33 engines for the Air Force, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, Navy and foreign military sales.
Additionally, the complex is responsible for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of a myriad of Air Force and Navy airborne accessory components, and the development and sustainment of a diverse portfolio of operational flight programs, test program sets, automatic test equipment, and industrial automation software.
