    A large military bomber aircraft is landing on a runway with a deployed bright yellow drag parachute trailing behind it to assist in deceleration. The aircraft appears to be a B-52 Stratofortress based on its distinctive swept-wing design and tail configuration. The scene is captured at what appears to be a military airfield surrounded by flat terrain and tree lines in the background.

    2nd Bomb Wing

    A B-52H Stratofortress deploys its drag parachute as it lands during an exercise at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., June 5. The parachute is used to slow down the aircraft as it lands. The 2nd Bomb Wing conducts training exercises to constantly refine and improve operational procedures and capabilities. Realistic training during wing exercises is critical to the wing's ability to respond quickly and efficiently to real world situations, and is a vital part of Air Force readiness. Wing airmen train often to ensure base units are ready to fight any challenge, anywhere at anytime.
