A C-17 Globemaster III aircraft takes off from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, June 8, 2026. This particular C-17, aircraft 8199, had been in depot repair for five years, having severe structural damage that prevented it from returning to the fleet. Having now been accepted by the 62d Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, aircraft 8199 was one of the first major projects taken by the Phoenix Aircraft Maintenance Unit, the new AMU assigned to the 7th Airlift Squadron.
