Senior Airman Ian Hunt marshals a 463L cargo pallet onto a C-130 Hercules at an air base in the Persian Gulf Region. The cargo pallet is bound for a base in Iraq. A part of his duties as loadmaster is to ensure cargo is loaded and unloaded in a safe manner and that it's secured to the aircraft, so it doesn't move during flight to bases throughout the theater. Airman Hunt is a C-130 loadmaster deployed with the 737th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Patrick Dixon)
