Airman 1st Class Nicholas McCracken, 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, grounds the liquid oxygen tank to prevent a build-up of static electricity March 19, 2013, at Joint Base Charleston – Air Base, S.C. Liquid oxygen is extremely flammable, requiring warning signs to be posted around the tank to prevent any open flames within 50 feet of the tank. Liquid oxygen is used as a means of distributing breathable air to aircrew members and passengers above 10,000 feet above sea level. The C-17 Globemaster III can hold approximately 155 gallons of LOX. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Dennis Sloan)
