A safety cone marking a coronavirus disease 2019 barrier around a C-130J Super Hercules aircraft sits on the flight line during a cleaning procedure test at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, April 24, 2020. Airmen from the 86th Operations Group, 86th Maintenance Group and 86th Medical Group coordinated efforts to test the feasibility of an ion distribution unit for C-130J disinfection after COVID-19 patient transfer.
