C-130 Hercules - Airmen teach C-130 ops to Iraqi students, learn about sacrifice

ALI BASE, Iraq—Master Sgt. Tommy Lee reviews the instruments on a C-130 Hercules control panel with one of his Iraqi air force students. He is among more than 30 instructors teaching more than 100 Iraqi airmen how to fly and maintain C-130s here. Sergeant Lee is a flight engineer instructor assigned to the 777th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron and is deployed from Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark. The student’s face is blurred for his protection. (Altered U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jamie Shultz)
