Aircrew Flight Equipment Airmen save pilots when all else fails

Staff Sgt. Kenny Batallas, 56th Operations Support Squadron Aircrew Flight Equipment maintenance section noncommissioned officer in charge, checks a parachute’s line continuity June 20, 2019, at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. To ensure line continuity, Batallas checked that the parachute lines were not tangled or obstructed in any way. Twisted lines could pose a potential risk to the safety of the pilots.
