Handling Services Inc. employees move a Mobile Tail Enclosure from a flat to standing position. The three million dollar structure will cover the tail end of Dover aircraft, allowing maintenance to work on the aircraft even in inclimate weather. The MTE will also increase productivity with its 12.5 ton overhead crane, eliminating the need for a mobile crane when maintainers are working on the aircraft tail. (U.S. Air Force photo/Jason Minto)
A Mobile Tail Enclosure is moved from a flat to a standing position April 10. The new MTE will help enclose the tail of the aircraft to protect it from inclimate weather, which use to prevent maintenance crews from working on the aircraft. The MTE is estimated to save over 248 hours of lost time a year. (U.S. Air Force photo/Jason Minto)
A Handling Services Inc. employee checks on a Mobile Tail Enclosure as it is stood up April 10. Previously when a C-5 Galaxy was parked in a hanger the tail would be outside the hangar. If winds were greater than 25 knots, maintenance couldn?t be performed on the aircraft. The new MTE will cover the tail of the aircraft and allow service members to work on the aircraft even during inclimate weather. (U.S. Air Force photo/Jason Minto)
