Keeping the sensors fresh

A total air temperature (TAT) sensor cover rests over the TAT sensor, of an A-29 Super Tucano, April 24, 2018, at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. A TAT sensor gauges input to an air data computer in order to enable computation of static air temperature and as such true airspeed. The 81st Fighter Squadron received the aircraft to help continue the Afghan light air support training mission, which ultimately provides Afghan pilots with the capabilities of finding, tracking, and attacking targets either on their own or in support of ground forces. The aircraft will be used by the Afghan Air Force for close-air attack, air interdiction, escort and armed reconnaissance. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Erick Requadt)
