Capt. Chris Uhland, 21st Airlift Squadron C-17 pilot, discusses flight plans for a "freedom launch" with fellow pilots at his squadron. The launch was part of a 22-aircraft mission that took place at Travis AFB, Calif., Sept. 11, 2013. Seven C-17 Globemaster IIIs, 11 KC-10 Extenders and four C-5B Galaxies from the 60th Air Mobility Wing lined up and then launched consecutively over 36 minutes to take part in Air Mobility Command missions. The first plane in the lineup, a C-17, launched at 8:46 a.m., the same time terrorists crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City 12 years earlier.
