A C-5 from the Air Force Reserve Command's 433rd Airlift Wing gets ready to depart from Manas, Kyrgyzstan after another mission in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. 433rd Aircrews flew nearly 7,000 hours in 2005. Only about 2,000 of those flying hours were in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. Other missions the Reserve wing supports include regular resupply runs to bases in the Pacific and in support of NASA research efforts. The C-5 is the only Air Force aircraft able to carry oversized equipment non-stop to anywhere in the world. (US Air Force Photo by Capt. Jeremy Angel, 357th Airlift Squadron)
