A C-130J Hercules flying over Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., on Sunday, April 30, 2006, deploys a drogue parachute that will extract a Type 5 heavy pallet. The mission was part of a test to certify the aircraft's capability to drop this type of pallet. Guard, Reserve and active-duty aircrews from Channel Islands Air National Guard Base, Calif.; Little Rock AFB, Ark.; and Keesler AFB, Miss., participated in the certification. This was the first time the "J" model dropped this type of pallet. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Dave Buttner)
