The 6th Airlift Squadron at McGuire AFB, New Jersey, took the long way home for its last overseas flight in the C-141 — by going around the world. Twelve crewmembers with more than 59,000 StarLifter flying hours between them departed McGuire on 19 August as an extension of the normal weekly Bahrain run the 6th AS made for months. The trip included stops at NAS Norfolk, Virginia; Bahrain; Diego Garcia, where the crew evacuated a patient to Singapore; Yokota AB, Japan; Kadena AB, Japan; Hickam AFB, Hawaii; Travis AFB, California; and Dover AFB, Delaware. StarLifter and crew returned to McGuire 28 August.
