Photographer's Narrative

 

The flight line is always busy and I enjoy walking up and down the flight line watching Airmen accomplish the mission. The C-5 is a massive plane that dwarfs all the jets on the ramp and when I saw it with both ends of the aircraft open, I ran over to take this shot of a loadmaster preparing the C-5 for cargo. You can see just how huge this aircraft is.
