 
Guard unit in Florida for WSEP
Col. Robert T. Brooks climbs down from his F-15 Eagle April 9, 2011, after arriving at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., to participate in the Weapons System Evaluation Program there. The two-week training and evaluation program is important for ground crews to test their maintenance systems and processes while loading live munitions on the fighters. The WSEP also provides live training for the F-15 pilots to employ air-to-air missiles against remotely piloted target drones in flight. Colonel Brooks is the commander of the Massachusetts Air National Guard ‘s 104th Fighter Wing. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Mark W. Fortin)
