162nd Fighter Wing crew chiefs earn safety honors for quick thinking

Tech Sgt. Daniel Tibbitts (left), Staff Sgt. Michael Markve (right) and Tech. Sgt. Jaime Aviles (not pictured) earned the Air Force and Air Education and Training Command Safety Well Done Awards for saving this F-16 from a mishap last year. The three crew chiefs, assigned to the Arizona Air National Guard's 162nd Fighter Wing, used chocks to stop the aircraft when loss of hydraulic pressure in the braking system caused it to meander uncontrollably on the flightline here.
