ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. – Elzie Dugger and Joe Leveille, 97th Equipment Maintenance Division machinists, discovered a crack on the rudder power control unit mount of a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft. The component has never been changed at Altus AFB. Leveille and Dugger visualized and fabricated a fixture that could be used to transfer the mount hole positions from the old bracket to the new bracket. With old and new mounts from 14 dimensional measurements and precision drilling, Leveille and Dugger’s procedure returned the aircraft to a mission capable status.
