MSgt Gordy Heinen relaeses a dropsonde before an airdrop over Afghanistan Aug. 26, 2006. The drop was made from almost 10,000 feet above mean sea level and provides up-to-the-minute wind data. The dropsonds calculate wind speed and relay the information back to the aircraft, helping to calculate the correct drop point. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Brian Ferguson)
