Excess baggage

Senior Master Sgt. Archie Branton, 758th loadmaster superintendent, secures the top cargo netting on April 13, 2012, after he and several other loadmasters built the baggage pallet in preparation for the 'Coronet Oak' redeployment. Loadmasters traditionally make a friendly wager on the weight of the cargo prior it to hitting the scale. The pallet weighed in at 43,000 pounds, with Branton correctly guessing the weight.
