Instructors from the 356th Airlift Squadron, train C-5 pilots on the modernized avionics package installed in the C-5A Galaxy cargo aircraft as part of the Avionics Modernization Program. The Alamo Wing was the first C-5 unit to receive the upgrade for the A model. The AMP replaces analog avionics instruments with digital electronic equipment. The AMP program is just one way the Air Force is recapilizing its airlift fleet. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman Brian McGloin)

New Technology
433rd Airlift Wing reservist, Tech. Sgt. David Alsip, demonstrates how light the new C-5 maintenance stand is. Despite its lack of heft, the stand is solid and helps disperse the maintainer's weight, putting less stress on the engine cowling. The engine stand was designed and developed by Sergeant Alsip and the rest of the 433rd fabrication shop. The stand was certified for use in late October 2005. (Photo by Staff Sgt. Bethaney Trapp)
