Commander’s comments: “Senior Airman Shoemaker’s daily tasks as an F-16 crew chief are critical in training the world’s greatest F-16 fighter pilots,” said Maj. Jason Mitchell, 56th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron commander. “With a break in service, he brings a different perspective to the flightline and readily shares the benefits of being an Air Force member. He is truly proud to be back in blue, and I am fortunate to have him as part of the 56th AMXS team.”
