AFE matches B-52s fire power with stopping power
Tech. Sgt. Wesley Vinson, 379th Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron aircrew flight equipment NCO in charge, pulls a drag parachute in preparation of packing it for a B-5 Stratofortress June 15, 2016, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. A drag chute is used to decelerate the B-52 during landing, reducing wear and tear to ceramic brake pads used by the aircraft, increasing their life span. The 379th EOSS AFE flight is the focal point for all flight equipment in regards to inspection, maintenance and repacking of all aircraft-related survival equipment.
