A C-130 Hercules with the 82nd Expeditionary Rescue Squadron, sits at Grand Bara, Djibouti, waiting for pararescuemen to board after a night-time jump on March 20, 2017. The flight consisted of two lanes of training, one for a Helicopter Air-to-Air Refueling (HAAR), and the second was a night jump for pararescuemen. The training allowed pilots for both air frames to remain current on their qualifications for night-time HAARs, and for pararescuemen to stay current on night jumps as well.
