A C-17 Globemaster III on the flight line as fire retardant foam is released
September 24, 2013 - A U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft on the flight line as fire retardant foam is unintentionally released in an aircraft hangar, temporarily covering a small portion of the flight line at Travis Air Force Base, California. The non-hazardous foam is similar to dish soap and eventually dissolved into liquid, which was helped by high winds. The 60th Air Mobility Wing firefighters helped control the dispersion by using powerful fans and covering drains

This print captures a dramatic moment at Travis Air Force Base in California. In the image, a mighty C-17 Globemaster III aircraft stands on the flight line as fire retardant foam is unintentionally released from an aircraft hangar, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The foam, which resembles dish soap and poses no danger to anyone, temporarily covers a small portion of the flight line. The 60th Air Mobility Wing firefighters swiftly respond to control the dispersion by employing powerful fans and covering drains. As high winds aid in dissolving the non-hazardous foam into liquid form, it gracefully disappears from sight. The sheer size and power of this cargo plane are evident as it remains stationary amidst this unexpected blizzard-like scene. Its imposing presence showcases its importance in military operations and transportation missions. This photograph serves as a testament to the dedication and expertise of our brave men and women serving in the U. S. Air Force. It highlights their ability to handle unforeseen circumstances with precision while ensuring safety at all times. Stocktrek Images has masterfully captured this extraordinary moment that combines elements of beauty, strength, and resilience within one frame.
