Ground Safety Award Of Distinction - Brief Article

Airmen 1st Class William B. Green, Kristopher N. Helton, Melissa M. Navarro Tech. Sgt. Jeffery A. Martin 20th Security Forces Squadron, 20th Fighter Wing Shaw AFB, S.C.

While performing security duties within the restricted area where the 77 FS, 78 FS and 79 FS aircraft are parked, Airmen Green and Helton observed an aircraft on parking spot Foxtrot 4 roll out approximately 200 feet. Both individuals responded and stopped the aircraft, immediately rechocking the aircraft while notifying maintenance control, who in turn, dispatched personnel to the scene. While awaiting maintenance arrival, Airmen Green and Helton continued patrolling the area to verify that all aircraft were chocked. Investigation later revealed that the wrong type of chocks were used to chock a number of aircraft that could have started rolling at any given time due to the high winds on that date. The quick actions by Airmen Green and Helton and immediate notifications to maintenance control prevented possible damage to a number of aircraft valued at over $2.6 million each within the restricted area.
