The Graceful Moment When A Commando Boat Goes Airborne

Image Cache: Airdrop operations never cease to amaze me. This photo shows a special training moment frozen in time: a commando boat slipping out of a Lockheed MC-130J transport aircraft.

From the Defence Video and Imagery Distribution System website:

An MC-130J Commando II from the 9th Special Operations Squadron airdrops a Maritime Craft Aerial Delivery System over the Gulf of Mexico during a training exercise, Nov. 12, 2015. This was the first time aircrews from the 9th SOS successfully completed an MCADS airdrop.
