Airman 1st Class Andre Whittington, 92nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, clears off sheets of snow from the wing of a KC-135 Stratotanker for flight preparation on the flight line at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., Jan. 29, 2014. Aircraft de-icing is a process in which liquid solutions are sprayed onto an aircraft during the winter to both defrost and prevent future precipitation from freezing. Snow and ice on the wings and rear tail component change their shape and disrupt the airflow making it difficult to fly and diminishes fuel economy. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
