A U.S. Air Force Air Commando, assigned to the 321st Special Tactics Squadron lands near the designated drop zone, April 13, 2017 on RAF Sculthorpe, England. The mission allowed military free fall jumpers to become qualified on the new RA-1 parachute system. The new system allows double bag static-line configuration jumps to be performed at a higher altitude and has greater response to user input. The RA-1 will replace the MC-4 parachute.
