Lajes Field Airmen help disabled French aircraft
Members of the 838th Transportation Battalion of the Azores Detachment use a forklift to support Air France maintainers move a new 22,000-pound engine for a downed Air France 777 Jan. 6 at Lajes Field, Azores. The aircraft was diverted to Lajes Field Jan. 4. Airmen from Lajes Field and members of the 838th Transportation Battalion were asked to provide support because local commercial airlines here only have lift equipment that can handle up to 15,000 pounds, did not have the capability to support Air France.
