TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- A 517th Airlift Squadron C-17 Globemaster III from Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, sits on the tarmac here while the crate carrying Maggie, an 8,000-pound African elephant, is off-loaded for transport to the Performing Animal Welfare Society's ARK 2000 Wildlife Sanctuary. From Travis AFB, Maggie's crate was loaded on a trailer where it made the two-hour drive to her new home. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Tech. Sgt. Keith Brown)
