Joint UAS mission sets mark
SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Members of the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing discuss the first operationally-flown transatlantic Global Hawk with the wing historian here Sept. 21. It was also the first joint-launch in the history of the aircraft. The unmanned aircraft was only on the ground for about five hours after its historic flight from Pax River, Md., Sept. 20 before being turned around and sent into the Area of Operations. The operational flight also marked the first time two Global Hawks were being flown simultaneously in neighboring theaters in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom.
