Behind every mission: Regionalized ISO inspections support C-5M mission readiness at Westover 🛠️

Inside the Regionalized Isochronal Inspection (RISO) facility, towering maintenance platforms surround the C-5M Super Galaxy aircraft as
reserve, civilian and active-duty maintainers operating around the clock, rising lifts, reviewing technical data and coordinating tasks to meet their 22-day inspection timeline.

The RISO program brings C-5M aircraft from across the Air Force together for scheduled isochronal inspections that identify discrepancies, complete required repairs and prepare the aircraft to return to operational service in support of global mission readiness. 🛫
