U.S. Air Force Capt. Dane Grauer, 15th Airlift Squadron C-17 Globemaster III pilot, carries aircraft chalks on board the C-17 during preflight checks for the crew’s Charleston Battery flyover, at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, May 30, 2026. Aircraft chalks are placed on either side of landing gear wheels after taxi to ensure the plane will not shift due to any external or internal forces while parked on ground, and removed before the next flight.
