Children await redeployed Airmen
Children anxiously await the return home of their deployed parents to the flightline at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. May 18, 2016. Approximately 150 Air Force Reservists and four C-130 cargo aircraft from the 302nd Airlift Wing are returned home after a four-month deployment to Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, in support of Operations Freedom’s Sentinel and Inherent Resolve. While deployed, the Airmen provided critical C-130 airlift support to include airlift, airdrop and aeromedical evacuation to U.S. Central Command operations throughout Southwest Asia. The deployed members of the 302nd Maintenance Group provided aircraft maintenance support ensuring fully mission capable C-130s in Southwest Asia. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Amber Sorsek)
