Sherry Callahan Has Been Fixing Airplanes For Several Years At Langley Air Force Base, Virgina, Just 110 Miles From Her Home. Following Three Years Of Administration Work In The Army, She Joined The Air Force. "I Prefer Working Outdoor," She Said. "Besides, It's A Lot More Exciting." Little Did She Know How Exciting Until The 71st Aircraft Maintenance Unit At Langley Deployed To The Persian Gulf. Her Job? To Keep The F-15's Of The 1st Tactical Fighter Wing Ready To Fly And Fight. She Worked The Midnight To Noon Shift, Trying To Avoid The 120 Plus Degree Heat. "I Learned A Lot During The War," Callahan Said, "But The Point That Sticks With Me The Most Is That Whenever It Got Tough, Everyone Rushed To Help.""
