Luke Egress Airmen reduce F-35 canopy shaped charge replacement time by 120 hours

Brig. Gen. Brook Leonard, 56th Fighter Wing commander, learns about an innovative process for F-35 Lightning II canopy component replacement from Staff Sgt. Tyler Volk, 56th Component Maintenance Squadron egress technician April 13, 2018, at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. The 56th CMS spent two months refining the process to replace the charges that separate the canopy from the jet during ejection, condensing it from 10 days to three.
