Another successful drop
A Low Cost Low Altitude bundle falls to the ground under a full parachute canopy after release from a 133rd Airlift Wing Minnesota Air National Guard C-130 Hercules Feb. 28, 2011. During the week of Feb. 28th, 2011 Airmen and the C-130 Hercules of the 133rd Airlift Wing, Minnesota Air National Guard deployed for training to Yuma Proving Ground, Yuma, Ariz. During the week the 133rd AW practiced Low-Cost Low-Altitude airdrops this knowledge and experience will be directly applied during deployment to Afghanistan. The LCLA bundles are more accurate and use expendable parachutes weighing in at 80 to 500 pounds. LCLA is well suited for small units on patrol or in remote outposts where they don't have the equipment or manpower to deal with the larger container delivery system bundles.
