Local Leaders tour Fairchild AFB

Local community leaders underwent simulated parachute deployment as they were hoisted into the air and practiced emergency procedures within the parachute simulator during a base tour at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington Aug. 22, 2025. Parachute simulators provide a safe and controlled environment for military personnel to develop essential skills and build confidence in emergency procedures, ultimately enhancing survivability during actual airborne operations.
