OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- Mr. Yong U Sok, 51st Maintenance Squadron, washes an A-10 Thunderbolt March 16. Jets are washed every 90 days here to keep them from deteriorating. The amount of time that passes between washes is based on the environment where jets are stationed. For example, a jet that is stationed near sea water is washed more often than one that is in a dry climate. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman Jason Epley)
