Senior Airman Jonathon Shanley, 4th Equipment Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance journeyman, dons protective gear before mixing paint for application on an F-15E Strike Eagle at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., July 14, 2009. The Air Force requires painters to use high pressure, low volume paint guns. These paint guns place more paint on the surface leaving less in the atmosphere.
