Photographer's Narrative

 

This was my first time seeing or shooting a C-17 Globemaster. Before this, all I had to compare it to was an MC-130, and the sheer size of the cargo hold was dramatically larger. This was during a deployment to Honduras for a humanitarian exercise called New Horizons 2015. They were able to fit two ambulances and approximately 50 RED HORSE members. This was the first, and as you can see, the ambulance can be driven on comfortably.
