Tech. Sgt. Tim Leedy, 445th Operations Support Squadron, Aircrew Flight Equipment Section, tests the communication system on the 358 smoke mask with a DMH1 tester. The smoke mask is used for aircrew in the event of fire or smoke on the C-5 Galaxy flight deck. There are 21 masks on the flight deck of each C-5. Each mask must be inspected every 30 days which means the aircrew flight equipment section must inspect 210 masks each month.
