# 'AFREP-airing' equipment saves funds

By Airman 1st Class Christopher Maldonado20th Fighter Wing Public Affairs

                SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C.  –              Rows of electronics and tools line the shelves of a spacious work center where a group of Airmen sit among pieces of equipment in need of repair.The technicians assigned to the 20th Maintenance Group Air Force Repair Enhancement Program shop are tasked with effectively repairing damaged items in an effort to save the Air Force and the 20th Fighter Wing money. “We will take items that may need repair from the flightline,” said Staff Sgt. Alexander Creznic, 20th MXG AFREP technician. “We will walk up (the flightline) and do a feasibility check, repairing any and all damaged items in our capability.”So far the AFREP flight has saved approximately $3.8 million in fiscal year 2017. Due in part to savings from these repairs, the wing has been able to provide funding for projects such as the 20th Component Maintenance Squadron paint booth and sun shades for Shaw’s 79 F-16CM Fighting Falcons. Since numerous agencies on base need assistance with repairing equipment, these Airmen are willing to receive a wide variety of items.“We mainly work with aircraft parts and flightline equipment,” said Tech. Sgt. Scott Williams, 20th MXG AFREP manager. “That is approximately 90 percent of what we repair. We will step out of that realm if someone brings us anything to include a vacuum, a shredder, or even a metal detector.”When working on various pieces of equipment, the Airmen gain a better understanding of how their job affects more than just the installation.“We have the ability to see how we directly impact the Air Force,” said Creznic. “We are able to see how much the component costs, what it affects, and how it will affect the customer and their mission.”*Editor's note: The original story can be viewed on the Air Combat Command website.*
