Bomb garden

Inert 500-pound bombs, half-buried in the ground, mark one of the targets in the Cannon Range complex. Each concrete-filled bomb has a high-drag "chute" attached, which slows the descent of the bomb so a low-flying aircraft has time to get out of the range of the explosion. The Missouri Air National Guard members who run the range recover dropped ordnance annually to keep it from accumulating on the range. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. David Kurle)
