910th conducts aerial spray course

A participant of the Department of Defense Aerial Spray Course gets an up-close look at the mounting boom and nozzles of a Modular Aerial Spray System mounted aboard one of the Air Force Reserve 910th Airlift Wing’s specially-modified, aerial spray capable C-130 aircraft on the flightline at Page Field, Fla., Jan. 15, 2013. The aircraft and aerial spray equipment display were part of the course, which is a certification requirement for pest management specialists involved in the aerial spraying of products designed to destroy disease-carrying creatures. Members of the air wing’s highly-trained aerial spray team, based at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, were also on hand to answer questions about the aircraft, equipment or the unit’s mission. The 910th is home to DoD’s only aerial spray mission and the team brought their unique knowledge to the course for the benefit of those participating in the event. U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt.
