Beyond the naked eye: Nondestructive inspection

Master Sgt. Jason Barker, 931st Maintenance Squadron nondestructive inspection section chief, dips a KC-135 Stratotanker part in liquid penetrant April 1, 2025, at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas. Liquid penetrant seeps into any cracks in a metal or non-porous object and glows under ultraviolet light, making any flaws visible when inspected.
