  Description:
  Group 13, 1990 Astronaut Candidate (ASCAN) Ellen Ochoa, wearing helmet and 
  holding onto parachute harness, parasails during a survival training course 
  exercise at Vance Air Force Base (AFB) in Enid, Oklahoma. In this phase of 
  the course, the trainee, in full parachute equipment, is pulled behind a 
  moving vehicle to simulate a parachute jump from an airplane in an
  emergency  situation.  Her parachute forms the backdrop for the photo.

  in July.  This  session was conducted from 07-29-90 through 07-31-90.
