An all-wood maintenance dock, providing close accessibility and nominal cost, is being operated by the 530th Air Transport Group at Fairfield-Suisun AFB, California. Built in two sections, the dock has an overhead covering when used outdoors to provide additional protection from weather. Engines, wings and front part of the fuselage can be reached from waist level.
