U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Brad Stratton, 97th Airlift Squadron loadmaster, out of McChord Field, Wash., removes chains from aircraft equipment in the cargo area of a C-17 Globemaster III, Oct. 20, 2011 at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. This was the last stop for the C-17 crew, which transported U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to Tripoli, Libya on this same C-17 earlier this week, before coming home to McChord Field. An active-duty crewmember from the 62nd Airlift Wing and a Raven unit from the 627th Air Base Group also supported the mission. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Neil D. Warner)
