Air Force Tech. Sgt. Brendan Schlaack (left) and Staff Sgt. Phillip Carter, both 57th Maintenance Group F-22A lead standardization crew members, attach a replica of a AGM-114 Hellfire missile onto an MQ-1 Predator during training July 18, 2007, at Creech Air Force Base, Nev. F-22A weapons loaders from Nellis come to Creech every other month for proficiency training on loading missiles onto the Predator and performing actions required to safety the airplane. Such training is necessary in case a Predator will be forced to land at Nellis AFB due to bad weather or runway problems at Creech AFB.
