Preemptive ice counter attack
ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska -- Airman 1st Class Alexander Buck, 3rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, de-ices an F-22A Raptor . The de-icing test will help officials gather technical data on how cold weather effects the maintenance crew's capabilities while working with this aircraft during the winter. The onset of termination dust on the surrounding mountain ranges is a sign the Alaskan winter is just around the corner. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Senior Airman Garrett Hothan)
