A virtual cockpit

Maj. Rick Wageman, 62nd Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron pilot, operates the virtual cockpit of an MQ-1 Predator at a base in southern Afghanistan, Oct. 25. The remote nature of the control allows the Predator to stay airborne for longer periods of time, changing pilots periodically to reduce stress and fatigue which can lead to mission failure. Major Wageman is deployed from Cannon Air Force Base, N.M. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Samuel Morse/Released)
