Technical Sergeant (TSGT) Dwyane Watson, USAF, 48th Equipment Maintenance Squadron (EMS), Structural Maintenance Flight, 48th Fighter Wing (FW), RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom, applies masking tape to the edges of the "Spirit of 9-11" nose art so it can be sealed to the F-15E Strike Eagle. "Lets Roll," the now famous phrase United Airlines Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer uttered as he and fellow passengers foiled terrorist hijackers, bringing down the aircraft in a Pennsylvania field that fatal morning. The nose art was applied on the 48th Fighter Wing's lead aircraft in remembrance of victims and heroes involved in the September 11th attacks
