The Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO) helped put a C-17 Globemaster III back in the air with the first use of a new manufacturing technology after it has been grounded since March 2025.

The C-17 was forced to fly home to Dayton, Ohio with interim fixes, including a Boeing-approved temporary left-nose panel repair and its landing gear down throughout the flight.
