Reserve C-130 crews support Operation Enduring Freedom
An AFRC C-130 belonging to the 908th AW lands on a dirt airfield overseas. The aircraft is deployed to the 777th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron at Manas Air Base, Kyrgyzstan. The airlifters of the 777th EAS deftly maneuver their trusty C-130s into a wide range of landing zones, from narrow Soviet-era airfields to dusty tracks on the edge of Afghanistan battlefields. Manas is the primary strategic hub for operations in and around Afghanistan and provides tactical airlift and aerial refueling in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Since December 2001, the 777th EAS has ferried more than 71,000 troops and more than 35,000 tons of cargo in the Afghan theater. (courtesy photo)
