Ranger Open House
A mother and son watch as Soldiers perform post-flight checks on a Blackhawk helicopter at the 6th Ranger Training Battalion’s open house event May 11 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The event was a chance for the public to learn how Rangers train and operate. The event displays showed equipment, weapons, a reptile zoo, face painting and weapon firing among others. The demonstrations showed off hand-to-hand combat, a parachute jump, snake show, and Rangers in action. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
