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

Standing with a bloodied knife and hand is an instructor of a special US Air Force (USAF) survival course (see also Corbis image 42-18212808) who has butchered a deer near their facility at Fairchild AFB, Spokane, Washington State. The man teaches escape and evasion techniques to visiting air crew whose flying careers depend on passing this rigorous week of survival instruction. Should they be downed in hostile territory for example, they will need every skill learned here to survive possibly weeks being hunted in the wilderness so trapping and preparing fresh meat for human consumption is important for survival. Here the teachers stand around the venison which is strung up on a branch, its intestines and organs already removed by a hunting knife.
