    A Soldier from D Company, 3-10 General Support Aviation Battalion, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, gets artistic while washing a CH-47 Chinook helicopter in Lielvarde, Latvia, on May 18. Due to a higher sea salt content in the air because of the location's proximity to the Baltic Sea, these in-depth corrosion control inspections ensure that our aircraft are safe and their parts have the longevity.
