Nothing routine about flying with the 36th Airlift Squadron

A C-130J Super Hercules starts up its four turboprop engines as pilots, loadmasters and ground crews finish pre-flight checks at Yokota Air Base, Japan, July 27, 2022. Pre-flight checklists are essential to ensuring the proper and safe functioning of aircraft systems and structure prior to take-off. Loadmaster and maintenance Airmen are vital parts of keeping aircraft mission ready, as flying stresses can wear at aircraft systems and structures. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Staff Sgt. Ryan Lackey)
