Brendan Schlaack, a 57th Maintenance Group F-22A lead standardization crew member, during his evaluation, July 18, 2007, at Creech Air Force Base, Nev. F-22A weapons loaders from Nellis visit Creech every other month for proficiency training on loading missiles on the Predator. While Air Combat Command standards require the task to be accomplished within 20 minutes, Airmen at Nellis and Creech raised the bar and do not settle for anything more than six minutes with no shortcuts, said Sergeant Davis.

F-22A weapons loaders from Nellis visit Creech every other month for proficiency training on loading missiles on the Predator. The original Predators, created more than a decade ago, did not have any weapon capability, nor were they satellite-controllable. Now, the new and improved predator is the most requested asset in theater. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Senior Airman Larry E. Reid Jr.)

Phillip Carter, both 57th Maintenance Group F-22A lead standardization crew members, attach a replica of an AGM-114 Hellfire missile onto an MQ-1 Predator during training July 18, 2007, at Creech Air Force Base, Nev. F-22A weapons loaders from Nellis visit Creech every other month for proficiency training on loading missiles onto the Predator and performing actions required to safety the airplane. Such training is necessary in case a Predator is forced to land at Nellis AFB due to bad weather or runway problems at Creech AFB. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Senior Airman Larry E. Reid Jr.)
