Loadmasters pose

Chief Master Sgt. James Masura Jr., 313th Airlift Squadron loadmaster, and 304th Expeditionary Air Squadron loadmasters, pause for a photo with the airdrop equipment to aid a fishing vessel broken down in the Antarctic. Argos Georgia had suffered serious engine failure while heading south in the Ross Sea, leaving it without propulsion and drifting with the ice Jan. 4, 2008, according to an article released by PACAF Public Affairs. The vessel needed critical engine repair parts airdropped to them so crews could fix damaged caused by navigating the icy waters. (Courtesy photo)
