Breaking the ice
Senior Airman Thomas Hawkins, 22nd Maintenance Squadron aerospace propulsion journeyman, sprays the wing of a KC-46A Pegasus from a Global GL1800 de-ice basket Oct. 28, 2020, at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas. The de-icers spray a mixture of water and propylene glycol to strip away accumulated ice from the aircraft, making them flight-ready. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Skyler Combs)
