Airman 1st Class Nicholas Ellwood, 777th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron loadmaster, communicates with pilots in the cockpit during start up before a combat mission, May 7. The 777 EAS personnel estimate they have prevented approximately 10,000 convoy vehicles and about 27,000 service members from traveling along improvised explosive device laden Iraqi roads since the squadron stood up in January 2006. This was accomplished by providing air transport via C-130 aircraft, the 'work horse' of the Air Force fleet. Ellwood is deployed from Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark.
