A loadmaster assigned to the 139th Operations Group, holds out his headset cable to guide a new crew inside a C-130H Hercules aircraft during an engine running crew change at Rosecrans Air National Guard Base, St. Joseph, Missouri, June 17, 2025. The mission involved an engine running crew change, a method used to rapidly load or unload cargo and personnel while the engines remain running. This technique reduces ground time, helping to protect the aircraft and crew from potential threats or mechanical delays, particularly in austere environments.
