Fairchild Airmen keep it cool

A 92nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crane operator de-ices a KC-135 Stratotanker on the flight line for flight preparation 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.

"676" Stratofortress static display stands proud

A B-52 Stratofortress static display, tail “676,” sits dominantly at the Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., Heritage Park Dec. 18, 2013. The same day in 1972, during Linebacker II operations over North Vietnam, “676” became the first B-52 to shoot down an enemy MiG aircraft. The tail gunner, Staff Sgt. Samuel O. Turner, fired his 50-caliber machine guns at a MiG-21 as it moved in to attack the B-52. Turner reported a “gigantic explosion to the rear of the aircraft” and was credited with being the first tail gunner to log a confirmed kill during combat in a B-52.
