Members of the 41st Aerial Port Squadron load water barrels onto a C-130J-30 stretch model aircraft, flown by members of the 815th and 345th Airlift Squadrons. These barrels simulated cargo that was airdropped as part of the squadrons' training for their upcoming deployment to Southwest Asia. The 815th "Flying Jennies" and 345th "Golden Eagles," an active associate unit, work and train side-by-side as part of the 403rd Wing at Keesler Air Force Base, Miss. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech.
