Summer 2007 Airman magazine now available

SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) --  Coalition forces fighting terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan can't get enough of the Air Force's unmanned aircraft, the MQ-1 Predator.

The persistent Predator gives commanders an unparalleled, bird's-eye view of the battlefield. And the real-time intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance capability the aircraft provides makes it the most sought-after weapon in the coalition arsenal.

At Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, recruits learn that to make it in today's Air Force they must embrace the warrior ethos that is the foundation of what it means to be an Airman.
