Fan blade project

Richard Rook, a jet engine mechanic with the 546th Propulsion Maintenance Squadron, inserts a fan blade into an overhauled F108 fan frame major module. Tinker AFB recently purchased 1,036 sets of used fan blades rather than new ones for F108 engines, saving the Air Force more than $36 million. More of the fan blades are scheduled to be purchased over the next two years, for an additional estimated cost avoidance of another $34 million.
