Completing a bladder transplant
Airman 1st Class Mark Wilson (left) and Staff Sgt. Jamie Crooks pull unroll a new 900-pound fuel bladder Dec. 3 at Ali Base, Iraq. Airmen from the 407th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels shop periodically replace fuel bladders to prevent ruptures. The new bladder can hold up to 50,000 gallons of fuel. Airman Wilson is deployed from Kadena Air Base, Japan, and Sergeant Crooks is deployed from Yokota Air Base, Japan. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Jonathan Snyder)
