When the airforce gets tasked with clearing snow

[Micael]

Something for you airforce guys?

A J32 Lansen converted for snow clearing at F21 wing in Sweden. Project cancelled in 1971 as the operating cost was considered too great in relation to the effect.

That's like the whatsit that turned up to tackle Kuwait's damaged oil-wells.

Trad method was to get close, do a 'Red Adair' boom-quench and hose-down...

This team had a jet engine and spray-water tanks on the back of a repurposed tank hull. Sideways 'rainstorm' simply blew out the fire...

They based it off of how the Soviet were going to clean tanks that had been doused with fallout or persistent chemicals. I thought they also used to it release chemicals in the air if the wind blew in the correct direction?

TMS-65. They discovered that it tended to bake the chemicals/fallout into the paint. So they mostly used it for snow removal.

No, this is not a 'Mad Science' ice-breaker, hydrofoil or WIG...
