    U.S. Army personnel prepare to load A Boeing AH-64 Apache helicopter into a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft at McEntire Joint National Guard Base, South Carolina, Nov. 21, 2024. The South Carolina National Guard, in partnership with the 315th Airlift Wing, is conducting an aerial certification exercise to test a newly designed blade fold kit for the AH-64 Apache helicopter. The blade fold kit, developed to enhance operational efficiency, is 100 pounds lighter than its predecessor, marking a significant step forward in aviation technology and mobility. The lighter blade fold kit simplifies preparing the helicopter for transport and frees up critical weight capacity for additional equipment or personnel. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt.
