Tech. Sgt. David Bass, 22nd Airlift Squadron C-5M Super Galaxy loadmaster, demonstrates how he would look out the window of one of the aircraft’s troop doors to identify potential threats if the aircraft was flying through a hostile environment, at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., Sept. 12. Research is under way to implement a safer way for Air Force crew members to identify potential threats during flight. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. James Hodgman)
