F-16 maintenance discovery changes Air Force training standard

U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Rosa Valdes and Staff Sgt. Rebecca Toland, both non-destructive inspection technicians from the 140th Maintenance Squadron, Colorado Air National Guard, perform an inspection of the 446 bulkhead on a block-30 F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft. The 446 bulkhead is aft fuselage structure of the F-16 aircraft that supports the tail structure and recent tests have indicated an increased amount of stress cracks in this area.
