Friendship jump over Egypt
A German soldier gives a "thumbs up" as other paratroopers begin their jump Oct. 15, 2009 during Exercise Bright Star. The exercise is a joint international military airdrop that strengthens and enhances the cohesiveness of each country's participating forces. This year's participants include the United States, Egypt, Kuwait, Pakistan, Germany and Jordan. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Jacob N. Bailey)
