Title
AFE matches B-52s fire power with stopping power
379th Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron aircrew flight equipment journeymen accordion-fold a drag parachute prior to packing it into the case assembly, which is then installed onto a B-52 Stratofortress June 15, 2016, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. Each of the 16 drag chutes here are allowed to deploy 160 times. Inspecting the 180-pound drag chute prior to repacking is vital because the smallest knot can make the difference between a successful chute deployment and disaster.
