Tech. Sgt. Jesse Ramirez, right, and other members of the 115th Fighter Wings Crash Damage Disabled Aircraft Recovery (CDDAR) team assist a local crane company in moving the unit's static display F-16 fighter aircraft, August 23rd, 2008. The unit’s static display will be repainted and stenciled in the coming months, then placed back onto a larger pad. Improved dawn and dusk lighting will be installed to showcase the jet during low light periods of the day. The CDDAR team is comprised of many maintenance specialties that range from electrical to hydraulics. Their operational mission is to extricate and recover disabled aircraft. The movement of this static aircraft satisfied mandatory training requirements for many of the team members. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Master Sgt. Dan Richardson)
