Erik Thompson (left), the base command chief, works with Airman 1st Class Kyle Stephens, hydraulics journeyman with the evaluation team, to thread netting to repair a “rib” on a Variable Speed Drogue assembly, March 7, 2017. Cannon Air Force Base has been the leading edge in testing the VSD, which provides a gap-filler capability to refuel aircraft between low and high speeds; enabling more flexibility for mission support.
