SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- The aircraft parts store supplies Seymour Johnson Air Force Base flightline Airmen with all items needed to function smoothly for day-to-day operations. If the part is not available, it is ordered for the customer. These Airmen are responsible for organizing and making sure the inventory list shows parts in the correct location. Technicians at the APS check all parts that come in to the facility. They also check accountability, sweep for foreign object debris on the flightline and deliver parts to the maintenance squadrons.
