For the first time, an MQ-9 Reaper Combat Air Patrol was remotely piloted solely by members of the 107th Airlift Wing when a team deployed to Ellsworth Air Force Base last month.
In September, 23 members of the 107th Operations Group deployed to the South Dakota base to complete the three-day mission, as facilities at Niagara Falls are under construction.
The MQ-9, a Remotely Piloted Aircraft has an aircrew that consists of a pilot, sensor operator and a mission intelligence coordinator. They flew in support of a Contingency Operation in which 107th members owned the full Command and Control, mission execution and reporting responsibilities. Men and women from the 107th filled all critical roles, successfully flying three Air Tasking Order cycles.
