Air Force Reservists from the 920th Rescue Wing, Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, received an overall "Effective" rating April 24 - 26, 2015 by a 40-member AFRC Inspector General team under a brand new inspection process. Called Capstone, it is now a Commander's Inspection Program (CCIP) and it's led internally by a Wing Inspection Team (WIT). Shown here a crew of 920th Airmen refuel two Wing HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters with their HC-130P/N King Air Refueler. (USAF photo)

The twin streaks of light represent a time lapse photo showing both the launch and landing of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which completed the round trip from Earth to space (where the rocket placed 11 satellites in orbit) and back in roughly 10 minutes. The Falcon blasted off from Launch Complex 40 at nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, then executed a perfect vertical landing and the former Launch Complex 13 -- now Landing Zone 1 -- a little more than five miles south from where it took off. It marked the first time a rocket delivered spacecraft into orbit and returned safely to Earth. SpaceX hopes to reuse their rockets, greatly reducing the cost of their space program. The reservists of the 920th Rescue Wing provide range clearance and safety contingency support for all rocket launches from CCAFS/Kennedy Space Center. (courtesy photo/SpaceX)

Staff Sgt. Leland Hastings, 919th Special Operations Security Forces Squadron, prepares to launch the Raven-B, a four-by-four foot unmanned aerial system, into the skies above Camp Guernsey, Wyo., Aug. 4. The 919th SOSFS brought the UAS to demonstrate its capabilities to other security forces units involved in a large field training exercise at the camp. The Raven-B has the ability to take photos, video in day or night, and even designate locations via an IR laser. It also provides coordinates, magnetic azimuths, and linear distances creating a birds-eye view to topographical map. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Sam King)
