U. S. Air Force personnel off load a C-141 Starlifter carrying 90 pets evacuated from Saudi Arabia at Charleston Air Force Base, S.C., on Aug. 17, 1996. The pets belong to military and Department of Defense civilian employee families that are being relocated to the U.S. because of the terrorist threat in Saudi Arabia. Approximately 750 people are being evacuated. The animals were taken to an air conditioned holding facility where Air Force veterinarians inspected them and their owners picked them up.
