AFRC contract saves taxpayers millions
John Palmer, a jet engine mechanic at the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) T-56 Centralized Repair Facility, installs a cannon plug to an anti-icing valve on a quick engine change kit, Nov. 2, 2016, at Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark. The facility produces all Legacy C-130 engine and propeller overhaul repairs for AFRC, saving millions of taxpayer dollars each year by repairing certain items rather than replacing them.
