 The initial count of 640 inadvertently included only adults. 183 children were also aboard.

    During a flight from an Intermediate Staging Base in the Middle East, the mother went into labor and began having complications. The aircraft commander decided to descend in altitude to increase air pressure in the aircraft, which helped stabilize and save the mother’s life.

    Upon landing, Airmen from the 86th MDG came aboard and delivered the child in the cargo bay of the aircraft. The baby girl and mother were transported to a nearby medical facility and are in good condition.

    We will do what it takes to mitigate the effects of COVID-19. Yesterday as part of a DHHS-led effort, AMC transported 13 pallets containing 500k COVID-19 sampling swabs on a C-17 Globemaster III. They took the kits from @AirAviano in Italy to the Memphis TN @AirNatlGuard Base.

    “And as you can well imagine, being an Air Force fighter pilot, it’s my dream to watch that young child called Reach grow up and be a U.S. citizen and fly United States Air Force fighters in our Air Force,” Gen. Tod Wolters told reporters. trib.al/7HWKVSw

    *The original number was based on how many bus seats were filled departing the aircraft and didn’t account for the number of children in laps.

    Seeing triple? Good! These C-5Ms at Travis Air Force Base​ are capable of carrying over 843,000 pounds. That's enough weight capacity to carry over 60 African elephants! #DoYouEvenLift? #TTailTuesday #WeLoveElephants

    How much airlift power do these 12 C-130s pack? Enough to carry 504,000 pounds of cargo, 888 patient litters, 1,104 combat troops, or 768 paratroopers. That's a ton of #hercwerk! (252 tons to be exact) #MindBlown #HercDay @PacificCommand
