Senior Airman Christopher Ott, 451st Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron aerial port flight, looks over the load plan to load cargo into a C-5 Galaxy on Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, Aug. 18, 2011. Ott and several members of the 451st ELRS aerial port assisted the load of an F/A-18 Super Hornet onto a C-5 Galaxy. This marked the first time ever that a U.S. fighter jet has been loaded into a cargo aircraft for transport back to the United States. After months of coordination and planning, senior leaders at the Navy’s Naval Air Forces and the Air Force’s Air Mobility Command approved a plan to transport the aircraft back to its home station at Naval Air Station North Island near San Diego, Calif.
