Where the asphalt ends: Maintainers prep C-17s for unique mission

SOUTHWEST ASIA – Tech. Sgt. Ryan Francois, 8th Expeditionary Air Mobility Squadron communications and navigation specialist, applies tape to the front of an antenna underneath a C-17 Globemaster III here April 30. The tape protects the antennas under the C-17 from rocks and debris that kick up while landing on an unpaved landing strip. Each antenna costs anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000.
