To dye for

Air Force Reserve aircrew members load cannisters of sea dye into the flare launcher system of an HC-130P/N King aircraft prior to launching a search-and-rescue mission. The dye, which spreads into a large, bright flourescent green patch in seawater, is used to mark the location of a survivor during a search operation. The reservists are members of the 920th Rescue Wing, the Air Force Reserve’s only rescue unit. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Paul Flipse)
