Egress: (noun) a place or means of going out, exit.

Senior Airman Jason McCasland and Senior Airman Brandon Bright, 2nd Maintenance Squadron, replace an aerodynamic smoother on a gunner hatch for a B-52H Stratofortress at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., July 18. The escape systems are a set of mechanical and ballistic explosives that work in sequence to ensure the pilot gets out. They ensure the hatch leaves the aircraft first, then the seat initiates and it takes the pilot out. In the end, the pilot ends up in the chute and descends to safety.
