C-17 Globemaster III - Wind blast

OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM—Staff Sgt. Brian Munn takes cover behind a forklift April 12 as a C-17 Globemaster III taxis toward the runway at Bashur Airfield in northern Iraq. Most of the work at this airlift hub takes place at night. Each time a cargo jet leaves the ramp, it kicks up a swirling cloud of dust. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Keith Reed)
