SENIOR AIRMAN Brian E. Foster from the 49th Material Maintenance Group from Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, takes a well deserved break from the rigors of driving a Air Force Case M13K articulated rough terrain forklift in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, in support of Operation SOUTHERN WATCH (monitoring the no-fly zone over Iraq). The M13K primary mission is the loading / unloading of cargo aircraft and has a parallel linkage system which ensures that forks remain in a level position throughout the lift arc
