Caption:

A fuel truck is delivered aboard a C-5B Galaxy, from the 436th Airlift Wing at Dover AFB, Delaware, to RAF Mildenhall, England, Apr. 22, 1999.  Additional equipment is needed at the base to support air refueling missions being flown in support of Operation Allied Force. The aircraft is able to  "kneel" down on the landing gear to facilitate the offloading of the equipment. Ground crew can load and unload the C-5 simutaniously from the front and rear cargo openings since the nose and aft doors open the full width and height of the cargo compartment.  (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech Sgt Brad Fallin)
