13th Annual Wright-Patterson Pumpkin Chuck
David Mollenhauer, ETHOS team captain, prepares “The Phoenix” for the annual Pumpkin Chuck Oct. 27, 2017 behind the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The Phoenix, labeled an “Experimental Torsion Hybrid Onager System” uses the torque of a coiled rope to throw the pumpkin downrange. (U.S. Air Force photo by R.J. Oriez)
13th Annual Wright-Patterson Pumpkin Chuck
Event staff measure the distance of a pumpkin chuck in the Class B portion of the 13th annual Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, Pumpkin Chuck Oct. 27, 2017. Competitors in three classes competed to see who could throw a pumpkin the furthest using different types of catapult-type machines. (U.S. Air Force photo by R.J. Oriez)
