A highly modified Air Force C-12J with an inert Laser Maverick on the belly of its fuselage is flying after a testing mission Aug. 26, 2010. The Laser Maverick is an air-to-ground missile that can seek out laser-designated targets. This is the first time the 586th Flight Test Squadron at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., has tested external stores on the modified C-12J, which is normally a “people mover.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Joshua Turner)
