Altus aircrew showcases dual-row airdrop 7/11/2005 - ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. (AFPN) -- An aircrew from the 58th Airlift Squadron here has made the first dual-row airdrop from a C-17 Globemaster III July 5. "The importance behind having dual row airdrop capabilities is it will help support the Army's need to perform strategic brigade airdrops, where an entire brigade is dropped onto a drop zone in a certain amount of time," said Maj. John Tringali, an instructor pilot with the 58th AS and the mission commander for the airdrop. The difference between a dual-row and a conventional airdrop is more than just how much is being dropped; it requires an aircrew to use different procedures when performing the drop. www.globalsecurity.org /military/library/news/2005/07/mil-050711-afpn04.htm   (670 words)
