AFRL-led aircraft coating project awarded as top-100 innovative technology
Test specimens are prepared for coating with the Aerocron® 2100 Electrocoat Primer during a recent demonstration at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This water-based, chrome-free primer offers protection comparable to chrome-based coatings, while curing at a lower temperature than conventional automotive and industrial Electrocoats, making it possible to electrocoat aluminum alloys without affecting their physical properties.

Gen. Wolfenbarger Order of the Sword Ceremony
Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger, Air Force Materiel Command commander, is joined by AFMC Command Chief Master Sgt. Michael Warner as she enters her Order of the Sword induction ceremony through a formation of sabers raised by an Honor Guard. The ceremony, held Feb. 5, 2015, at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, was steeped in medieval symbolism and military tradition, and paid tribute to the general's servant leadership. The Order of the Sword is the highest honor Air Force noncommissioned officers can bestow upon an individual who has made significant contributions to the enlisted force.
