AGOW Airmen conduct static-line jumps
Col. Paul Birch (right), 93d Air Ground Operations Wing (AGOW) commander, talks with Capt. Jack Fine, 93d AGOW chief of next generation integration, on the flightline before boarding an HC-130J Combat King II prior to a static-line jump, Nov. 21, 2018, at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. The overall objective of the training was to increase jumpers’ skills, knowledge and proficiency in regards to airborne operations. During a static-line jump, the jumper is attached to the aircraft via the ‘static-line’, which automatically deploys the jumpers’ parachute after they’ve exited the aircraft.
