Brig. Gen. Susan Y. Desjardins flies a newly accepted C-17 Globemaster III Oct. 2 over the U.S. Air Force Academy cadet area in Colorado Springs, Colo. General Desjardins accepted the aircraft into the Air Force's inventory at Boeing's facilities in Long Beach, Calif., and flew it from the Boeing facility to its new duty station with the 436th Airlift Wing at Dover Air Force Base, Del. The general, a command pilot with more than 3,800 flying hours in the C-17 and other aircraft, is the Air Force Academy commandant of cadets. (U.S. Air Force photo/Dennis Rogers)
