JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, SC -- The 20th Military Airlift Squadron airlifted a Risso Dolphin named Mom, from Boston to Kaneohe, Hawaii. The dolphin was assigned to the U.S. Navy's underwater security and test program that utilized specially trained dolphins. According to Major Frank Metzger, the crew had to keep the temperature in the cargo compartment so low, that the dolphin's spray would freeze on the floor. The cold temperatures supposedly prevented undue psychological harm to the dolphin during the flight. (Courtesy Photo)
