A Bulgarian military paratrooper removes his parachute at the drop zone during Exercise Thracian Spring 17 at Plovdiv Regional Airport, Bulgaria, March 15, 2017. Drop zones are thoroughly surveyed in advance and inspected before every drop in to order to ensure a safe landing for personnel or cargo. More than 60 U.S. Air Force Airmen from Ramstein Air Base, Germany, participated in combined air operations with the Bulgarian military to strengthen relationships while building their nations’ joint military capabilities.
