Dropping In
Corbett Bufton of Charleston, South Carolina writes, "I took this picture from the back of another C-17 on a local airdrop mission over South Carolina. The drogue chute is in the slipstream, almost about to release a heavy extraction training platform at about 500 [feet] AGL. No historical significance, but representative of missions currently in operation today."
