Title: Group 13, 1990 ASCAN Ellen Ochoa trains at Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma

Description:

Group 13, 1990 Astronaut Candidate (ASCAN) Ellen Ochoa, wearing helmet and 
parachute harness, listens to instructor's directions before a parasail 
training exercise at Vance Air Force Base (AFB) in Enid, Oklahoma.  This 
portion of the survival training course is designed to familiarize the 
trainee with the handling and "feel" of a parachute in the event of an 
emergency ejection from a jet aircraft. The parachute creates the backdrop 
for this photo. Ochoa, along with 22 other ASCANs, trained at Vance from 
07-29-90 through 07-31-90.
