'The last ones to let them down'

Senior Airman Matthew Brillion, 31st Operations Support Squadron aircrew flight equipment technician, measures a 100 pound cord lanyard for a pilot’s riser cutter knife, Aug. 19, 2014, at Aviano Air Base, Italy. The AFE Airmen store the knife in a pilot’s G-suit, that is located to make it easy for them to reach down, grab the knife and cut any lines in the parachute that are tangled and could cause them to spin out of control.
