Towards the end of our tour on Tuesday, we were able to see
some UAVs, or drones. The RQ-4
Global Hawk is a UAV that was recently created by the Air Force for
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Not only do these machines need pilots, but they also need
mechanics to ensure that they are operating correctly. Following his graduation from basic
training this fall, my cousin Tommy began training to service these aircraft. Now stationed at Beale Air Force Base
in California, he is a member of the first class of six Airman to be trained to
work on the RQ-4 Global Hawk. He
loves being a part of the technological growth in the Air Force! The attached article has some
additional information about the RQ-4 and the new class of crew chiefs.
