Fairchild Airmen keep it cool

A 92nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron supervisor inspects for left over ice and snow on a KC-135 Stratotanker on the flight line at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., Jan. 29, 2014. Aircraft de-icing is a process in which liquid solutions are sprayed onto an aircraft during the winter to both defrost and prevent future precipitation from freezing. Snow and ice on the wings and rear tail component change their shape and disrupt the airflow making it difficult to fly and diminishes fuel economy.(U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
