Capt. Josh Quinn, 517th Airlift Squadron, reviews some pre-flight instructions before takeoff at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, May 10, 2010. Airmen from Elmendorf worked hard to gather and load oil containment equipment that was flown to New Orleans Naval Air Station. Several squadrons participated in providing relief support for the Gulf oil spill. “I’m extremely excited to support this mission. The nature of this equipment, and the responsibility to ensure it is air-worthy, has presented our squadron with several new and unique challenges,” said Mike Boy, 3rd Logistics Readiness Squadron installation deployment officer. “Up to this point, we have inspected, palletized and loaded over 100 tons of equipment belonging to BP Exploration (Alaska) and the U.S. Navy SUBSAL located on Fort Richardson.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Christopher Gross)
