    Painters from the 402nd Aircraft Maintenance Support Squadron prepare for sanding work on the RQ-4 Global Hawk that recently made history by being the first to fly into an air logistics complex.

    Robins will provide an organic paint capability. This work is necessary to prevent corrosion and deterioration of the aircraft to keep it operating at full mission performance. Plus, the establishment of a Building Based Launch and Recovery Element will allow for launch, landing and ground recovery operations of the aircraft.

    While a PDM requirement for Global Hawk has not been established, the Air Force recognizes that having an organic maintenance capability for Global Hawk enhances our ability to manage the fleet and keep this resource flying. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tommie Horton)
