A de-icing vehicle removes snow from the left wing
Summary
A de-icing vehicle removes snow from the left wing of a transient C-17 Globemaster III, assigned to the 62nd Airlift Wing Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, prior to departing Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, Feb. 11, 2021. Because snow and ice can change the shape of an aircraft's wings and tail, the deicing process is very important in ensuring a smooth and safe flight.
