Colored smoke streams from smoke grenades mounted on a 210-foot tower as a 75th Military Airlift Squadron C-5A Galaxy aircraft makes a low-altitude pass. Researchers at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory are investigating the wind vortices created by the passage of an aircraft and the effects that those disturbances would have on low-altitude parachute drops

A worker makes a notation as a C-130 Hercules aircraft passes overhead. Researchers at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory are investigating the wind vortices created by the passage of an aircraft and the effects that those disturbances would have on low-altitude parachute drops

Colored smoke streams from smoke grenades mounted on a 210-foot tower as a 63rd Military Airlift Wing C-141B Starlifter aircraft makes a low-altitude pass. Researchers at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory are investigating the wind vortices created by the passage of an aircraft and the effects that those disturbances would have on low-altitude parachute drops

Two C-5B Galaxy aircraft from the 436th Military Airlift Wing depart on a personnel and equipment airdrop mission. The U.S. Air Force Airlift Center is conducting tests to certify the airdrop, formation-flying and low-level flight capabilities of Galaxy aircraft. Earlier tests were suspended in 1973 when wing-strength problems were discovered in Galaxy aircraft

Colored smoke streams from smoke grenades mounted on a 210-foot tower swirls in the wind created by a passing aircraft. Researchers at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory are investigating the wind vortices created by the passage of an aircraft and the effects that those disturbances would have on low-altitude parachute drops

White smoke released from the wing tips of a passing aircraft mingles with the colored smoke released by smoke grenades fitted on a 210-foot tower. Researchers at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory are investigating the wind vortices creasted by the passage of an aircraft and the effects that those disturbances would have on low-altitude parachute drops

A damaged 60th Military Airlift Wing C-5A Galaxy aircraft lands safely on the runway. The aircraft landed short of the runway at Shemya Air Force Base, Alaska, damaging the landing gear and was flown to Dobbins for repairs by Lockheed Corp

A C-5A Galaxy aircraft makes a low-altitude run near the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). Researchers at INEL are investigating the wind vortices created by the passage of an aircraft and the effects that those disturbances would have on low-altitude parachute drops
