Taking off Manas
A C-17 Globemaster III, deployed from McChord Field, Wash., takes off into
the sunrise over Manas, Kyrgyzstan, July 15, 2012. The 62nd Airlift Wing, together with its Reserve associate wing, the 446th Airlift Wing, provides a large part of the Air Mobility Command's Global Reach airlift capability. The wing's tasking requirements range from supplying humanitarian airlift relief to victims of disasters, to airdropping troops into the heart of contingency operations in hostile areas.
