Slowing the Buff: AFE Airmen pack, maintain B-52 drag chutes

Airmen 1st Class Eric Hornbeck and Andrew Croft, 2nd Operations Support Squadron aircrew flight equipment journeymen, move a re-packed chute deployment bag to a table at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., June 7, 2016. The drag parachute is used to decelerate the B-52 Stratofortress during landing, reducing wear and tear to ceramic pads used by the aircraft, increasing its life span.
