A DHL Airbus A300 rests on the taxiway after its crew preformed an emergency landing at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, two days prior. Airmen assigned to the 455th Expeditionary Maintenance Group were able to lift the left wing and place it on a flatbed trailer so the plane could be moved off the runway and normal flight operations could resume. (U.S. Air Force photo by/ Tech.
