Drag it out

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Justin Yochum, 5th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron aerospace repair and reclamation journeyman, raises the scissor lift to the top of a B-52H Stratofortress to replace a drag chute at RAF Fairford, United Kingdom, June 13, 2016. The drag chute is stowed in the top of the fuselage just behind the vertical fin. The chute alleviates wear on breaks and allows the plane to land on shorter runways if needed.
