Active flightline

Staff Sgt. Daryl Washington performs a dropped object prevention inspection on a C-17 Globemaster III at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, Nov. 15. More than half of all air cargo delivered to support Operation Iraqi Freedom is processed through here. Due to the close proximity of Incirlik to Iraq and the ability to land at more and smaller runways, flights from here have kept at least 3,300 convoy trucks and 9,000 servicemembers from harm's way. Sergeant Washington is a crewchief with the 728th Air Mobility Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Larry A. Simmons)
