8/27/04 – EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – The two Boeing Joint-Unmanned Combat Air System X-45As garaged here have achieved several significant milestones in test and development. Just ask Tech. Sgt. Michael Cook and Tech. Sgt. Waylon Nez. They've witnessed every one of them.

These two Air Force maintainers have overseen and performed both major and daily maintenance tasks on the aircrafts since the program's infancy.

"Sergeant Nez and I have been onboard with this project since it started out here four years ago," Sergeant Cook, 412th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron J-UCAS weapons section chief, said. "In fact, we actually unpacked the planes from the box and helped put the things together. It's really been a lot of fun."
