Fairchild Airmen climb ice-covered tower to retain communications

Airmen 1st Class Shawn Westbrook and Miklos Jeszensky shovel snow to make a drivable path to a radio tower covered with snow and ice Feb. 16, 2011, at the top of the Calispell Mountain Peak in Spokane, Wash. Both Airmen are transmission systems radio technicians with the 92nd Communications Squadron at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., and are traveling to the radio tower to knock snow and ice off it. Deicing the tower clears radio signals vital to life-saving missions done by the 336th Training Group's rescue flight. The Airmen began digging this path when their vehicle got stuck a quarter mile away from the tower. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Natasha E. Stannard)
