BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq -- Airmen applaud and cheer, thanking injured Soldiers and
Marines for their service in the war on terrorism as they are brought aboard the
last C-141 Starlifter aeromedical evacuation flight from a combat zone Sept. 29.
The aircraft, assigned to Air Force Reserve Command's 445th Airlift Wing at Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base, Ohio, transported the injured servicemembers to Landstuhl Regional
Medical Center, Germany, for treatment. The flight concluded more than three decades
of overseas aeromedical evacuation missions with the aircraft, beginning during
the Vietnam War. (U.S. Air Force photo by Maj. Robert Couse-Baker)
