Romania’s Mihail Kogaliceanu Airbase has been the site of tactical training for US and Romanian soldiers. Jumping with the ground forces was USAF 1st Lt. Chandra LeCompte, who is serving as a staff weather officer with the Southern European Task Force (Airborne), according to an Eastern European Task Force release. It was her first jump since completing Army airborne school.
An Air Force F-16 pilot designed a collapsible ladder that weighs just six pounds and folds into the unused cockpit map case.
