482nd F.I.S.:

"Where's My Wrench?"


L-R: Patrick Casey, Edward Illsche, and Gary Phillips. I'd make this about autumn of 1962. A passing Air Force photographer decided he needed a photo of a parachute being packed, but there were no chute packers available. So the pneudraulics men, ever patriotic, volunteered. My memory tells me that this has to be a drag chute as the personal parachutes used two very large, wide tables. GCW
