Packages of hazardous narcotics prepared for transport sit staged inside a hangar at March Air Reserve Base, Calif., during Operation Burnout on May 19, 2026. Airmen packaged and secured the narcotics during a joint interagency mission with the Drug Enforcement Administration before the shipment was airlifted aboard a U.S. Air Force C-5M Super Galaxy to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, for destruction by incineration. The mission marked the largest recorded aerial transport of hazardous narcotics for disposal. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Joshua Fontenot)
