C-17 crews deliver in Central Asia
Airman 1st Class Jesse Doyle guides the pilots of a C-17 Globemaster III as they back the jet onto the taxiway, while another C-17 idles, waiting to pull into a parking space on the crowded ramp. The hub of Operation Enduring Freedom, Manas Air Base, Kyrgyzstan, has processed through tens of thousands of troops en route to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan in the first two months of the new rotation with C-17 crews running several shuttles daily. Airman Doyle is deployed from McChord Air Force Base, Wash. (U.S. Air Force photo)
