U.S. Air Force explosive ordnance disposalmen detonate explosives attached to the wings of a C-130 Hercules aircraft at Sather Air Base, Iraq, July 7, 2008. The aircraft was disabled after it made an emergency landing last month, and the airmen used a series of controlled detonations to divide the aircraft into smaller pieces so it could be moved. The disposalmen are assigned to the 447th Air Expeditionary Group. U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Jeffrey Allen
