    A U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft with tail number 8199, assigned to the 62nd Airlift Wing and 446th Airlift Wing, is being marshaled on a wet tarmac under overcast skies. A ground crew member wearing a high-visibility orange vest, camouflage uniform, and ear protection is directing the aircraft using an orange marshaling wand.

    An Airman assigned to the 62d Aircraft Maintenance Squadron’s Phoenix Aircraft Maintenance unit marshals a C-17 Globemaster III aircraft at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, June 8, 2026. Airmen under the Phoenix AMU were responsible for making aircraft 8199 serviceable after five years of depot repair. Now ready to return to the fleet, the aircraft marks a significant first step in the Phoenix AMU’s current and future capabilities. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Senior Airman Benjamin Riddle)

    A military service member in a tan long-sleeve shirt and camouflage pants is performing maintenance or repair work on an electrical or avionics component panel. The individual is leaning into an access panel on what appears to be a large military aircraft or vehicle, working with both hands on a gray equipment box. Visible wiring and electronic components are exposed within the open access cavity.
    A technician in a brown long-sleeve shirt is working on a complex panel of connectors, cables, and fittings on what appears to be aerospace or military equipment. The panel features multiple colored cables (orange, red, blue, yellow) and multi-pin electrical connectors being manipulated by hand. The setting suggests an aircraft maintenance or systems integration environment.
    A military aviator in camouflage uniform (OCP/MultiCam pattern) is seated in the cockpit of a large military transport aircraft, operating flight controls and instruments. The cockpit displays a tail number placard reading '08-8199' along with 'KB' and 'ESOR' designations, consistent with a C-17 Globemaster III or similar large military transport. The pilot is actively engaged with the center console controls while facing forward toward the instrument panel.
    A U.S. Air Force airman in OCP camouflage uniform and green hearing protection is operating ground support equipment (labeled DG56) on a flight line.
