Airman 1st Class Seth Quillen, 5th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, turns a nozzle on a liquid oxygen (LOX) cart at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, Nov. 2, 2023. LOX boils at minus 297 degrees Fahrenheit, which requires Airmen working with it to wear protective clothing to shield them from the freezing temperatures.
