Photos: A new C-Leg for military amputees

In 2004, the C-Leg allowed Lt. Col. Andrew Lourake, a U.S. Air Force pilot, to return to active flying status--in October of that year, he made his first flight in six years. In this photo from around that time, he's sitting in the cockpit of a C-20B aircraft at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. Lourake, the first member of the military to be fitted with a C-Leg, was on hand for Tuesday's demonstration of the updated version.
