US Air Force Captains Paul Frydenlund and Michael Drew, copilots of a C-5 Galaxy aircraft from the 349th Air Mobility Wing, Travis Air Force Base, California, review paperwork at 35,000 feet in the crew compartment. On board the aircraft is a US Navy Mark V special operations craft, a 50-ton, 82-foot-long speed boat (not shown) used to insert and extract SEAL combat swimmers in and out of high-threat areas. This long-Haul mission to Spain required an augmented crew, because of its duration and numerous legs. This photo is part of the article "In a "Galaxy' Far, Far Away" from the October 1999 issue of AIRMAN Magazine
