Jumping to conclusions

Staff Sgts. Ryan Kutch and Justin Wilkins wait inside a CH-47 Chinook helicopter moments before they perform a static-line jump above Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., Nov. 6, 2012. A static line is a cord attached at one end to an aircraft and the other to the parachutist. As they fall from the aircraft, it causes the line to deploy their parachute. Kutch is a survival, evasion, resistance and escape specialist with the 22nd Training Group and Wilkins is a SERE specialist with the 66th Training Squadron.
