Master Sgt. Edward Scherzer, 53d Weather Reconnaissance Squadron loadmaster, demonstrates how he prepares a dropsonde for launch into a hurricane. The dropsonde gathers barametric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, which helps weather forcasters better predict weather models. The demonstration was part of the Air Force Reserve Command's first ever C-130 Special Mission Conference at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., Jan. 12-13, 2010. (U.S. Air Force photo/Capt. Marnee A.C.

An Air Force Reserve C-130 Hercules multi-ship formation prepares to take-off June 5 from Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. After performing practice air drops over eastern Colorado, each of the aircraft joined together for a multi-ship formation flight over the base. Later, the six C-130s simulated tactical air drops at the Red Devil tactical airstrip at nearby Ft. Carson. Typically, C-130 wings in the AF Reserve only fly in multi-ship formations once or twice a year to simulate combat conditions while flying in close formation. Five of the C-130 aircrews are assigned to the 302nd Airlift Wing at Peterson AFB, which included both AF Reserve and Active Duty Airmen. The final aircraft and aircrew were assigned to the 94th Airlift Wing, based at Dobbins Air Reserve Base outside of Atlanta. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Daniel Butterfield)
