COLD WINTER OPERATIONS for E-3A
For quite some time, there was a project on my to-do list that I had been meaning to tackle. Finally, I had the opportunity to observe the de-icing procedures for a NATO E-3A AWACS aircraft stationed at Geilenkirchen Air Base in Germany.
Despite the chilly morning necessitating de-icing, it was an unforgettable experience.
I had the chance to assist the local PR team in capturing these procedures, and some of my photographs were featured in the monthly base newspaper.
