BOLT Program at Hill AFB
Senior Airman Devon Charmichael, a low-observable technician, launches an F-35A. Launching aircraft is historically done by a crew chief, but 388th FW maintainers participating in the Blended Operational Lightning Technicians program are learning other maintenance positions in an effort to streamline maintenance and cut down on the man hours it takes to generate sorties. In the BOLT program maintenance specialties are blended in two tracks. Maintainers in the Air Vehicle track are crew chiefs, fuels and low observable technicians. Airmen in the Mission Systems track focus on avionics, weapons, and egress.
