Great flying pumpkins!

David Mollenhauer, Air Force Research Laboratory, prepares the Phoenix for its third attempt during the 16th Annual Pumpkin Chuck on Oct. 22, 2021, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The Phoenix used the ancient Greek technique of torsion, getting its power from a bundle of twisted ropes to toss pumpkins more than a half-mile. (U.S. Air Force photo by R.J. Oriez)
