C-17s get state-of-the-art home
MARCH AIR RESERVE BASE, Calif. -- People from the 452nd Air Mobility Wing's civil engineer squadron and fire department here observe the final fire sprinkler foam test in a new state-of-the-art hangar built to house the wing's C-17 Globemaster IIIs, which are scheduled to begin arriving Aug. 9. As one of many safety features designed for the hangar, foam is dispensed from nine generators that can smother flames in less than one minute. (U.S. Air Force photo by Erickson J. Barnes)
