127th Wing Photos

Aircraft Painting

Airman 1st Class Dan Butcher uses a sander to prepare a centerline tank for a fresh coat of paint, while working in the painting bay of the 127th Maintenance Squadron at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., Sept. 15, 2012. The sander has a vacuum attachment to control dust. 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.
