Lt. Col. Douglas J. Lee, 4th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron commander, performs a walk-around inspection of an MC-12W prior to boarding it for a mission, Feb. 27, 2010, at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. The MC-12 program was dubbed the Project Liberty Program as a nod to a World War II effort that quickly built and transitioned commercial ships to the fight in Europe, much like how the Air Force fielded the MC-12.
