Last week, members of 101 "Surveillance and Airlift" Squadron joined crews from Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway and Sweden to participate in the 2015 Super CEPCO - Coordinated Extended Pollution Control Operation.
The purpose of the operation is to survey an area of intense marine traffic, which has a high probability of illegal discharges, to identify, record and report the detected pollutions and polluters.
CEPCO provides an opportunity for the Air Corps to participate in a multinational operation and to learn from crews across Europe. Here are a few pictures from the CEPCO 2015.

Just curious, how would they have sunk it?'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

So the age old discussion whenever Air Corps aircraft are replaced:
If the Casa's make it to Marpat retirement age and their replacements enter service - is there anything to be said for keeping them on, stripped out, for use as transports?
Or will they be thoroughly worn out after 25 years?

and fly them out over the irish sea and engage them with surface to air missiles as a shoot down ex"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."
