Airborne Troops Jumping Off A Globemaster III

I love this photo. There’s something maternal about it, with that soldier about to break clean from the umbilical cord that joins him to the belly of the gigantic mothership.

Staff Sgt. Taylor Worley took this awesome photo of the 820th Red Horse Squadron’s airborne flight parachute troops dropping form a C-17 Globemaster III at Nellis Force Base, Nevada. [USAF]
