Depaint the big easy way

A painter controls one of the four Area Multi-axis Platforms, or AMPs, to depaint a C-130 Hercules at the 402nd Maintenance Support Squadron at Robins Air Force Base, Ga., Oct. 8, 2009. The operator controls the three-axis movement of the AMP's four laser aimed nozzles that shoots compressed air and media at painted surfaces. The process breaks up the paint and reveals the bare surface underneath it. Inside the cab, fresh air is pumped in to breathe and to push plastic beads and paint particles out of cab openings.
