Commander unveils Deepwater Horizon painting
Lt. Gen. Maryanne Miller, chief of the Air Force Reserve, Senior Master Sgt. Darby Perrin, and Gen. Carlton D. Everhart III, Air Mobility Command commander, unveil the painting "Deepwater Horizon" at the 48th annual Air Mobility Command and Airlift/Tanker Association Symposium in Nashville, Tennessee. The painting, created by Perrin, is the newest addition to the Air Force Art Program depicts two C-130H Hercules Modular Aerial Spray Systems and Citizen Airmen from the 910th Airlift Wing, Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, in the cleanup effort following the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The painting will join nearly 9,000 other works in the Air Force Art Program. These works document the history of Air Force Airmen, equipment, locations and activities. While the 910th AW's aerial sprays are commonly known for insect and vegetation control, the wing has assisted the U.S. Coast Guard with oil spill cleanup for almost 20 years. The cleanup mission lasted five weeks and AF Reserve aircrews sprayed approximately 30,000 acres with oil dispersant during the cleanup effort. (U.S. Air Force photo by Matthew A. Ebarb)
