A crew chief from the 20th Aircraft Maintenance Unit prepares to hoist up a drag chute for installation on a B-52 Stratofortress during a Quick Regeneration Exercise at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Feb. 23, 2017. During landing, the aircraft deploys a drag parachute to assist with deceleration, reducing wear and tear of ceramic brake pads. After parachute deployment, a new one must be installed prior to take-off. ( Air Force photo/Senior Airman Mozer O. Da Cunha)
