Loadmasters from 4th AS worked with ramp operators from 60th APS to ensure a Tunner 60K aircraft cargo loader from Travis AFB was loaded and secured onto a C-17 Globemaster III.

The aircraft will be flown to Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake for further analysis, testing and evaluation.

“My job as an air transport specialist keeps me awake. One day we could be helping a family PCS, while the next day we could be carrying 2,000 pound bombs and the next day providing medical aid,” he said. -he declares. “It is gratifying to understand the impact of the port on the whole Air Mobility Command assignment. Everything that the whole army needs at any time, we transport it on our cargo plane.
