C-141B |
The C-141B Starlifter is the workhorse of the Air Mobility
Command. The Starlifter fulfills the vast spectrum of airlift requirements
through its ability to airlift combat forces over long distances, deliver those
forces and their equipment either by air, land or airdrop, resupply forces and
transport the sick and wounded from the hostile area to advanced medical
facilities. The C-141 force, nearing nine million flying hours, has a proven
reliability and long-range capability. In addition to training, worldwide
airlift and combat support, the C-141 has amassed a laudatory record in response
to humanitarian crises. The C-141, with its changeable cargo compartment, can
transition from rollers on the floor for palletized cargo to a smooth floor for
wheeled vehicles to aft facing seats or sidewall canvas seats for passengers,
quickly and easily, to handle over 30 different missions.
