    U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Austin Gordon, an aerospace ground equipment specialist with the 121st Maintenance Group, de-ices a KC-135 Stratotanker at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base, Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 28, 2026. Maintainers operate from the lift of a de-ice bucket truck to ensure the aircraft’s surfaces are clear of ice and snow, preventing airflow disruptions upon takeoff and maintaining mission readiness despite freezing conditions.
