Aerial herbicide operations enable safe training at Mountain Home

Tech. Sgt. Jeffrey McGhee, an aerospace maintenance craftsman with the 910th Maintenance Squadron, and Staff Sgt. Zachary McGhee, a loadmaster with the 757th Airlift Squadron, pose for a photo on the flightline on Sept. 22, 2020, at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. The Airmen are brothers serving at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, who were able to travel to Idaho to conduct aerial spray operations as a means of fire prevention to combat the growth of cheatgrass, an invasive winter annual. During wildfires, cheatgrass acts as an enabler, causing the fire to spread quickly to other vegetation such as sagebrush. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Christina Russo)
