Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Using the Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System (LAPES), a U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules crew delivers a load of supplies to the U.S. Army 1st Cavalry Division at An Khe. With LAPES, platform-mounted loads are pulled from the rear of a transport plane at an altitude of about five feet. The delivery system is designed for resupply to narrow drop zones. The photo was taken ca. in 1965-66, as the C-130 is not camouflaged, yet. |
