Aircraft Painting

Airman 1st Class Mitchell Groh demonstrates the technique used to paint a centerline tank while working in the painting bay of the 127th Maintenance Squadron at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., Sept. 15, 2012. In this instance, Groh is using water in his spray gun to simulate the application of paint, due to the presence of the photographer in the painting area. While maintenance Airmen at the base said the paint on an aircraft plays a major role in corrosion control and has other benefits, they also take a great deal of pride in the appearance of the aircraft they maintain. The centerline tank is used by A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft assigned to the base as an additional, external fuel tank when the aircraft must make long treks, such as a trip overseas.

Global Reach, Global Power

A B-52 Stratofortress from the 5th Bomb Wing, Minot Air Force Base, N.D., moves into position to receive fuel from a KC-135 Stratotanker flown by the 127th Wing, Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., Sept. 7, 2012. The ability conduct aerial refueling allows the U.S. Air Force to project air power to any location in the world. The Air Force is able to further extend U.S. air power by utilizing the Total Force concept, relying on elements of the active-duty Air Force, such as the B-52’s crew; the Air Force Reserve; and the Air National Guard, which was operating the KC-135 on this mission.
