A C-130H Hercules crew from the 910th Airlift Wing, the Air Force Reserve Command wing at Youngstown-Warren ARS, Ohio, drops an oil dispersing chemical over the Gulf of Mexico on 5 May 2010. Airmen with the wing are staging out of Mississippi to assist with the response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill off the coast of Louisiana. The 910th AW specializes in aerial spray and is the Department of Defense’s only large-area, fixed-wing aerial spray unit.
