A beauty in the sky
Senior Airman David Nichols uses a scrubber to wash the side of an F-15E Strike Eagle during an aircraft wash on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., Nov. 28, 2011. During a jet's washing, Airmen clean the inside of the canopy and the outside of the jet to prevent dirt and corrosion build up. Each jet is washed biannually to aid in the aircraft's longevity. Nichols is a 4th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief from Hayward, Wis. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Whitney Stanfield)
