Airmen of the 40th Helicopter Squadron work with the aircrew of a Dover Air Force Base C-5M Super Galaxy aircraft to load and transport a UH-1N Huey helicopter to Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, May 22, 2024. The Huey was loaded onto the C-5 at the Montana Air National Guard Base, and promptly flown to Offutt AFB. The Huey was unloaded upon arrival and flown around the immediate area.
