860th AMXS conducts maintenance on C-17

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Cayden Fischer, 860th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron aerospace propulsion technician, adjusts the core thrust reverser blocker doors on a C-17 Globemaster III engine in a hangar at Travis Air Force Base, California, March 16, 2026. These adjustments are a critical maintenance procedure that ensures proper redirection of both bypass and core engine exhaust. Unlike many commercial aircraft that only reverse-bypass air, the C-17's system is uniquely designed to handle core exhaust, enabling steep tactical descents and the ability to back up on the ground.
