910 aircrew changes C-130 from pax to cargo configuration

TEL AVIV, Israel -- Air Force Reservists assigned to the 910th Airlfit Wing, based at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, work on changing the configuration of the cargo deck of a C-130H Hercules tactical cargo transport aircraft, also assigned to YARS, from carrying passengers to carrying cargo pallets, while the aircraft sits on the tarmac of Ben Gurion International Airport here, October 25, 2009. A group of nine 910th Citizen Airmen just delivered 29 passengers and their baggage to Tel Aviv on an airlift mission from Naples Naval Air Station, Italy. The 910th Airmen are scheduled to pick up four single pallets and a double pallet of cargo here and deliver them to Ramstein Air Base, Germany. It took the 910th Airmen about one hour to take out the passenger seating and install the cargo pallet rollers as well as stow all of the extra cargo deck components. The aircrew members completing this airlift mission are among more than 70 Servicemembers from YARS attached to the 38th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron, based at Ramstein. The 38th EAS is supporting Operation Joint Enterprise by providing tactical airlift capability to locations in the U.S. Europe Command (EUROCOM), U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) theaters of operations.
