JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. - Capt. Alex Hutcheson, left, 15th Airlift Squadron mission director, watches a high-velocity airdrop Feb. 24, 2018, at North Auxiliary Airfield, S.C. These types of airdrops involve the use of parachutes to stabilize the fall of the loads being dropped. High-velocity airdrops are typically used for durable items like meals, ready to eat. The airdrop took place as part of an incentive flight hosted by the 437th Airlift Wing to show appreciation and say thank you to the key spouses and those who help support service members.
