Staff Sgt. Cody Lange, 60th Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance technician, removes plastic covering a section of a C-17 Globemaster III from Travis Air Force Base, Calif., which was placed there to protect it while the C-17 was painted Aug. 6, 2018, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. California laws prevent Travis Airmen from spray painting their C-17s, so they brought it to McChord where it is allowed. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Tryphena Mayhugh)
