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)
