Tech. Sgt. Sean Stottlemyer pushes the forth of five air delivery bundles onto a Charleston C-17 on the flightline here March 11. The bundles were equipped with the Firefly Joint Precision Air Delivery System, or JPADS, which is used in conjunction with a global positioning satellite sensor dropped from the aircraft during flight to relay data back to the aircraft, allowing for precision air delivery of the bundles. Sergeant Stottlemyer is a shift supervisor with the 437th Aerial Port Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Dennis Henry)
