Heavy onload
U.S. Air Force Airmen from the 709th Airlift Squadron and the 512th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron load a Pierce Arrow Telesquirt fire truck onto a C-5M Super Galaxy at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., April 9, 2025. Weighing approximately 31,000 to 33,000 pounds without water, the fire truck’s size and weight required careful coordination and precision handling during the loading process. The fire truck was donated by a Non-Governmental Organization as part of the Denton Humanitarian Assistance Program, which provides transportation of humanitarian goods to countries in need.
