Hurrican relief mission

JACKSON, Miss. -- Staff Sgt. Jason Moore uses a pressure washer to hose off an HH-60G Pave Hawk after a search and rescue mission. Ground crews here wash the outside of helicopters with hot water and the inside with a mild bleach solution to decontaminate them after missions over "the soup." That is the name used for Hurricane Katrina floodwaters polluted with fuel oil, diesel fuel and gasoline, raw sewage, the bodies of people and animals and hazardous chemicals. Sergeant Moore is a 347th Expeditionary Rescue Group crew chief. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Efrain Gonzalez)
