Maintenance crews from the 721 Tactical Airlift Control Element use insulation tape to patch a hole on the cargo door of a C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft. The C-17 sustained a small 6" gash during the off loading of a power plant generator. The C-17 from the 437th Airlift Wing at Charleston AFB, South Carolina, is one of many Air Mobility Command (AMC) aircraft currently tasked to airlift equipment and supplies to Puerto Rico and neighboring Caribbean Islands struck by Hurricane George
