Soldiers with the 16th Combat Aviation Brigade, Fort Wainwright, Alaska, steady the aft pylon as it’s lowered onto the main body of a CH-47 Chinook on the flightline, Sept. 6. The Chinook is disassembled to fit on transport aircraft carrying the helicopter over long distances. Once re-assembled, the helicopter will undergo ground runs and maintenance test flights to ensure it’s ready for operations. Photo by Staff Sgt. Kali Gradishar
