Crew Chiefs assigned to the 911th Airlift Wing utilize hydraulic jacks to raise a C-17 Globemaster III assigned to the 911th Airlift Wing at Pittsburgh International Airport Air Reserve Station, Pennsylvania, June 10, 2024. Weighing around 282,000 pounds, the C-17 required six, 60-ton jacks to be lifted a few feet in the air so the crew chiefs could perform inspections on the landing gear. (U.S. Air Force video by Tech.
