FILE PHOTO -- The C-141B Starlifter is the workhorse of the Air Mobility Command.
The Starlifter fulfills the vast spectrum of airlift requirements through its
ability to airlift combat forces over long distances, deliver those forces and
their equipment either by air, land or airdrop, resupply forces and transport
the sick and wounded from the hostile area to advanced medical facilities. The
C-141 force, nearing nine million flying hours, has a proven reliability and long-range
capability. In addition to training, worldwide airlift and combat support, the
C-141 has amassed a laudatory record in response to humanitarian crises. The C-141,
with its changeable cargo compartment, can transition from rollers on the floor
for palletized cargo to a smooth floor for wheeled vehicles to aft facing seats
or sidewall canvas seats for passengers, quickly and easily, to handle over 30
different missions. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Greg Davis)
