Many of our aircraft require more than a pilot in order to safely complete each mission. It's the responsibility of Special Missions Aviators to cover everything from pre-flight inspection of aircraft systems to the placement and delivery of all cargo on board. These highly trained specialists have multiple integral roles and monitor all functions for the aircraft, even providing weapon defense when necessary, in order for the team to successfully complete its missions.
