Testing C-47F at Eglin Air Force Base in Okaloosa County, Florida.

Testing the short landing capabilities of various aircraft as candidates for Strategic Air Command Escape and Evasion mission. A U.S. Air Force C-47F (equipped with fully reversible propellers) performs maximum performance landing in rough terrain at Eglin Air Force Base in Okaloosa County, Florida. The C-47F makes a normal full flap approach and landing but fully reverses its engines upon touchdown, which significantly adds to the stopping effect of braking. The effects of reverse thrust are readily seen as the dirt of the landing area is blown forward of the aircraft during the process. Several views of the test landing are shown.

Testing aircraft for Strategic Air Command Escape and Evasion mission. A United States Air Force C-119C aircraft being tested for short field landing capability on rough terrain at Eglin Air Force Base in Okaloosa County, Florida.

Drogue parachute failures during C-47F test landings at Eglin Air Force Base in Okaloosa County, Florida

Testing aircraft for Strategic Air Command Escape and Evasion mission. Drogue chutes fail in landing tests of a U.S. Air Force C-47F at Eglin Air Force Base in Okaloosa County, Florida. In the first scene, a C-47F, trailing a drogue chute, lands on a hard surface runway At the moment of impact as the parachute billows, the shroud line breaks. Parachute collapses and trails behind the aircraft going down the runway. In the second sequence, the C-47F lands on rough terrain, but the drogue chute fails and the aircraft stops using propeller reverse and brakes.
