386th EAMXS, 46th EATKS launch MQ-9 Reaper

Airman 1st Class Johnathan, 386th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, and Airman 1st Class Brandon, 386th EAMXS avionics specialist, conduct flight control checks while communicating with a 46th Expeditionary Attack Squadron pilot and sensor operator during preflight of a MQ-9 Reaper launch at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia, Feb. 21, 2019. The MQ-9 utilizes satellites in space to perform their main mission; however, an antenna fixed to the ground provides the launch and recovery team to carefully land the multi-role asset without the worry of delay.
