The flightline at Dover Air Force Base is mostly empty Feb. 5, after Team Dover launched nearly all of the aircraft before a major snow storm hit the region Feb. 6. By launching most of the aircraft, Dover made it easier for crews to remove snow from the flightline and runways at Dover AFB. (U.S. Air Force photo/Jason Minto)
A handful of aircraft are parked on the Dover Air Force Base flightline Feb. 9. Team Dover launched all available aircraft Feb. 4 and 5 on 618th Tanker/Airlift Control Center missions prior to a major snow storm blanketed the region.
