Caption:

Ground crews of the 305th Rescue Squadron position the second MH-60G and attach the winch cable prior to loading it into the C-17 Globemaster III.  The loading of the MH-60G helicopter onto a C-17 cargo aircraft was an experimental test to see if it could be done. Measurements were taken to assure safe loading of the MH-60G helicopter in real world contigencies. This experimental loading was deemed very sucessful, and the MH-60 was unloaded and the C-17 returned to Charleston.
