Parachute packing
Airman 1st Class Zachary Reph, 11th Aircraft Maintenance Unit, connects the pilot chute canister to the bottom of a drogue chute hatch on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Feb. 21. The pilot chute is the small parachute that is deployed first as the B-52H Stratofortress lands. The force of the first deployment is used to pull out the larger parachute which slows down the aircraft as it lands. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Benjamin Gonsier)(RELEASED)
