    An illumination flare is visible from the back of a C-17 Globemaster III assigned to the Hawaii Air National Guard 204th Airlift Squadron during a flare deployment training operation held Aug. 27, 2020 in the airspaces around Hawaii. The addition of area illuminating flares comes from the HIANG's continued support of NASA's SpaceX Human Space Flight program. It enhances the airlift squadron's ability to conduct contingency astronaut rescue operations in any lighting conditions. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Orlando Corpuz)
