Air Force Lt. Col. Todd McCoy inspects his C17A Globemaster

Air Force Lt. Col. Todd McCoy inspects his C17A Globemaster III March 11 at the base airfield. “I’ve been flying transit missions for over a decade, but even now there’s nothing more fulfilling than bringing the guys back home,” the Beckley, W.Va. native said. “Being a part of that first mission and seeing the smiles on their faces when we reached MK and the guys realized they were a big step closer to home was truly awesome.”
