Ever wondered how the US Air Force cleans its planes? Here’s one way: They use a giant shower on a runway—or a planewash if you must. Here you can see it cleaning the salt accumulated on a Lockheed Martin WC-130 Hercules after flying through storms over the Gulf of Mexico.

One of the best USAF photos of 2013.
