A woman raced into the arms of her soldier after he touched down at a Nebraska Air Force Base.
The exhilarating moment was caught on camera by the Nebraska National Guard as soldiers with Troop C, 1-134th Cavalry Squadron were reunited with their loved ones on the tarmac at the Army Aviation Support Facility in Lincoln ahead of the holidays.
For the woman who spots her soldier among the troops coming off the plane, she can wait no longer, and races at full speed towards her beau.
The soldier barely has time to react and quickly manages to take off his backpack and put it on the ground while bracing himself to catch her in his arms.
