Weapons School soars over NTTR

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev.--An F-22A Raptor and F-15C Eagle from the U.S. Air Force Weapons School's 433rd Weapons Squadron pull into a vertical climb over the Nevada Test and Training Range July 16, 2010. The NTTR is the U.S. Air Force’s premier military test and training facility with more than 12,000 square miles of airspace and 2.9 million acres of land. With 1,900 possible targets, realistic threat systems and the support of an opposing enemy force from Nellis Air Force Base, the NTTR provides the combat air force with a "peacetime battlefield" that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world. The Weapons School began in the late 1940s as the U.S. Air Force Gunnery School and teaches graduate-level instructor courses, providing the world's most advanced training in weapons and tactics employment.
