Electronic warfare Airmen from the 2nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron unload chaff from a B-52H Stratofortress on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., July 11. Only B-52Hs not participating in the Red Flag exercise at Nellis AFB, Nev., had their chaff removed. Airmen loaded the remaining chaff onto B-52s departing for the exercise to save the Air Force money. Chaff is used as a defensive measure to conceal the aircraft from enemy radar by dispensing small, thin pieces of metal. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Micaiah Anthony)(RELEASED)
