Mosquito Mission

With the rescues of people completed, Air Force reservists operating in the New Orleans area have turned to a new mission: ridding flooded areas of mosquitoes and filth flies. Tests have shown an 800 percent increase in the mosquito population since Katrina hit, says Lt. Col. Steve Olsen, chief of aerial spray for Air Force Reserve Command's 910th Airlift Wing from Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio.
