C-5M Ground Training Event

Gas valves of a nitrogen servicing truck belonging to the 730th Air Mobility Squadron frost over while refilling a C-5M Super Galaxy’s fire suppression system during a ground training event at Yokota Air Base Japan, Sept. 17, 2021. The C-5M uses nitrogen for fire suppression in case of an emergency. Nitrogen is a cold, inert gas that works to put out fires by displacing oxygen from most fire types, effectively smothering flames before they can overtake an aircraft.
