Balad Predators
Capt. Jason Ruiz does a preflight checklist on his MQ-1B Predator to prepare for a "push off" mission Aug. 3, 2010, at Joint Base Balad, Iraq. A push off mission is where the unit here will launch the aircraft, and then release their command to a unit back in the U.S. to fly the mission. Captain Ruiz is a 46th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron pilot. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Matt Coleman-Foster)
