Mount Pleasant, S.C. - Members of the 437th Maintenance Group from Joint Base Charleston, S.C., utilize the aircraft tire bead breaker borrowed from the 437 MXS Aero Repair/Wheel and Tire Shop while working on a B-25 bomber at Patriots Point Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant, S.C. When the tires on the B-25 at the museum needed replacement in February 2019, members of JBC volunteered their time and used their knowledge of C-17 Globemaster III tire maintenance to create a successful method of changing the tires on the World War II-era bomber.
