2 Millionth Hour
The loadmaster aboard a C-17 watches as 74,000 pounds of jet fuel descends to U.S. and coalition troops just south of Kabul as the worldwide C-17 fleet surpasses its 2 million flying hour milestone Dec. 10. In 2010 alone, C-17s and the Airmen who fly and maintain them have supported humanitarian operations in Haiti and Pakistan, a surge of 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, and are part of a record-breaking year for airdrops in Afghanistan.
