C-17 crews make record airdrop

Tech. Sgt. Marvin Mosley releases a dropsond from the rear door of a C-17 Globemaster III Oct. 11 over Afghanistan. The dropsond is designed to relay information, such as wind speed and altitude, back to a computer onboard the aircraft so the Precision Air Drop System can calculate the best airdrop point. Sixty-two cargo bundles were dropped from two C-17s to a drop zone in Afghanistan. This was the first time a combat cargo drop of this magnitude has taken place from two C-17s in formation over one drop zone. Sgt.
