Aerial spray team targets Utah test range

– An Air Force Reserve modified C-130H Hercules tactical cargo aircraft, assigned to the 910th Airlift Wing based at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, taxis on the flightline just before take-off for an aerial spray sortie here, March 17, 2015. The 910th’s aircrews flew the aircraft, outfitted with a Modular Aerial Spray System, to the nearby Utah Test and Training Range to spray herbicide, eliminating unwanted ground covering weeds which can obscure target sites and Unexploded Ordinance on bombing ranges. The 910th Airlift Wing is home to the Department of Defense’s only large-area fixed wing aerial spray capability and dedicated aerial spray maintenance flight. U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt.
