Airman 1st Class Dalton Sanger, 361st Training Squadron aerospace propulsion apprentice course student, performs a prop control change at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, April 3, 2019. Sanger is safety wiring the prop control now, which is usually one of the last steps. The little safety wires are one of the most used tools in aerospace propulsion as they hold pretty much the whole plane together. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Pedro Tenorio)

361st Training Squadron aerospace propulsion apprentice course students perform a prop control change at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, April 3, 2019. These propellers are usually on aircraft like the C-130 Hercules. The prop control is in charge of controlling the propellers position while in flight. If the prop control malfunctions there is a safety precaution that forces the propellers to feather allowing the pilot easier control while they prepare for an emergency landing.

361st Training Squadron aerospace propulsion apprentice course students remove and install the augmenter and exhaust nozzle at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, April 3, 2019. The augmenter allows the engine to add at least 50% more thrust while the exhaust nozzle adjusts and regulates back pressure to control the aircraft's stall margins.

Airman Kenneth Hale and Airman Austin Bellar, on steps, 361st Training Squadron aerospace propulsion apprentice course students, remove and install an augmenter and exhaust nozzle on a trainer engine at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, April 3, 2019. The augmenter increases the engines thrust by 50%, while the exhaust nozzle helps control and regulate the back pressure, decreasing stall margins.
