Airman First Class Travis Allred, a cryogenics and distribution technician, stands in a mist of liquid oxygen while purging the lines of 5,000 gallon tank. Cryogenics falls under the petroleum, oils and lubricants shop in the 60th Logistics Readiness Squadron. LRS maintains six large storage tanks that contain liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. Liquid oxygen is called Aviator's Breathing Oxygen and is used exactly how it sounds - for our aircrew and pilots to breathe while living up to the fly, fight and win mission. The liquid nitrogen is used primarily for fire suppression on our C-5 Galaxie
