Night owl maintainers launch Global Hawks

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Enrique Alvarez, 380th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron RQ-4 Global Hawk avionics specialist, prepares to launch an RQ-4 Global Hawk assigned to the 99th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron at Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates, March 25, 2021. Alvarez is responsible for maintaining and repairing the RQ-4’s avionics systems to ensure the aircraft can provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities within the area of responsibility. This double exposure photo was achieved in camera by combining two perspectives, a photo of the RQ-4 and an Airman, to create a singular image.
