Contamination of the Exterior of a C-130E Aircraft Used for Aerial Spray, 907 TAG, Rickenbacker ANGB OH

Abstract

Contamination of the exterior of a C-130E aircraft was evaluated during flight tests of a new modular aerial spray system at Dobbins AFB GA and Avon Park AFR FL. Oil sensitive cards and paper index cards were taped to 50 sites on the exterior of the aircraft to monitor deposition of Dibrom, Malathion, soybean oil, and water during aerial spray operations. Light contamination of the aileron occurred when the wing booms were used and heavy contamination of the cargo door and horizontal stabilizer occurred when the fuselage booms were used. Keywords: Dibrom, Malathion, Aerial spray. (JES)
