Roping the aircraft

Senior Airman Benjamin Bennett, 92nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, manually deices a KC-135 Stratotanker using a rope Dec. 12, 2016, at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington. By moving a rope over hard to reach areas of the jet, including the fuselage and wings, Airmen can successfully remove the heavy sheets of snow before applying deicing fluid.
