Innovative thinking leads to first local E-4B wash since flood

Staff Sgt. Muncy Stapleton, 595th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, sprays the landing gear of the E-4B during the aircraft's first home station cleaning in the unit’s Allman Maintenance Facility April 20, 2020. Since the flood, all E-4B aircraft washes have been waived or accomplished off-station. However, with the outbreak of COVID-19, the unit desperately wanted to find a way to accomplish this task here to avoid any unnecessary exposure to their maintainers. The unit’s facility manager coordinated with the 55th Civil Engineering Squadron’s plumbing shop and fire department to see whether the fire hydrants located outside of the Allman Maintenance Facility were operational.
