Reeling in the chute

Staff Sgt. Brent Thornton, 22nd Special Tactics Squadron combat controller works to corral his parachute after landing in high winds near the echo ramp on McChord Field, Feb. 12, 2014 at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. Parachuting airmen can judge wind speeds base on a “V” pointing in the wind’s direction and from popped smoke provided by combat controllers on the ground. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt.
