EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AFMCNS)

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AFMCNS) — Members of the Joint Strike Fighter Integrated Test Force here prepare an F-16 for a final chemical decontamination test here Jan. 30. The F-16, used in place of an F-35, was sprayed with a chemical simulant, washed, then towed into a hangar and heated from 165- to 185-degree temperatures to accelerate the weathering of the remaining chemical. The goal of the testing is to decontaminate an entire aircraft to quickly return it to service should it be exposed to a chemical or biological agent. (Air Force photo by Mark McCoy)
