OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM (AFIE) -- Ground crew airmen from Moron Air
Base, Spain, prepare to unload a C-5 Galaxy at an operating location in
support of Operation Enduring Freedom. A C-5 with a cargo load of
270,000 pounds can fly 2,150 nautical miles, offload, and fly to a
second base 500 nautical miles away from the original destination --
all without aerial refueling. With aerial refueling, the aircraft's
range is limited only by crews’ endurance. (U.S. Air Force
