Parachute packing
Airman 1st Class Zachary Reph, 11th Aircraft Maintenance Unit, connects a chute bag riser into the jettison jaws of a B-52H Stratofortress on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Feb. 21. When the parachute is deployed, the connection ensures the force of the deployment does not rip the parachute off of the aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Benjamin Gonsier)(RELEASED)
