Maintainers keep C-130s flying to supply Operation Tomodachi
Maintainers from the 374th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron power up a C-130 Hercules for night-flying operations March 14, 2011, at Yokota Air Base, Japan. C-130s play a crucial role in disaster-relief operations because of their ability to land on dirt runways and other less-than-ideal landing conditions. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Samuel Morse)
