USA - Washington - US Air Force survival instructors with recent roadkill

Standing with a recently-killed deer run-over on a nearby highway, members of a special US Air Force (USAF) survival course (see Corbis image 42-18212808) pose by the gutted carcass of their animal in a forest near their facility at Fairchild AFB, Spokane, Washington State. These tough-looking men host visiting air crew whose flying careers depend on passing this rigorous week of escape and evasion instruction. Should they land in enemy territory for example, they will need all the skills learned here to survive possibly weeks in the wilderness so trapping and preparing fresh meat for human consumption is of paramount importance. Here the teachers stand around the venison which is strung up on a branch, its intestines and organs already removed by a hunting knife. They wear camouflage uniforms, face paint to look vicious, threatening and heartless.
