Depaint the big easy way
An aircraft painter, maneuvers one of the four Area Multi-axis Platforms, or AMP, into position to depaint a C-130 Hercules from the North Carolina Air National Guard at Robins Air Force Base, Ga., Oct. 8, 2009. Two of the four AMPs can be seen suspended from overhead rails. The process breaks up the paint and reveals the bare surface underneath it. This environmentally friendly system presents a low hazard to the operators and the environment, while making the depaint process faster. Each AMP does the work of 10 people (four two-person teams with one nozzle to a team, plus additional safety/support personnel). (U.S. Air Force photo/Lance Cheung)
