Colonel Andrew Croft, 49th Wing commander, poses for a hero shot before completing his pre-flight checks at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., March 28. Croft, who recently completed F-22 training at Tyndall AFB, Fla., is now qualified on both the MQ-1 Predator and the F-22 Raptor. According to the official MQ-1 factsheet, the Predator’s primary mission is interdiction and conducting armed reconnaissance against critical, perishable targets, while the F-22 Raptor is one of the Air Force’s newest fighter aircraft. The Raptor’s combination of stealth, super cruise and maneuverability represents a leap in technology. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman DeAndre Curtiss /Released)
