Tired tires refreshed

Sometimes the dirtiest jobs are the most vital. The wheel and tire shop Airmen will completely dismantle a C-5A Galaxy main landing gear tire assembly, clean and repack the bearings with fresh grease and then ready a tire for use on the flight line. The job is a dirty but important one. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Master Sgt. Collen McGee)
