The sergeants, of the 46th Aircraft Maintenance Unit, do this so other unit maintainers can perform maintenance on the aircraft. They are deployed from Creech Air Force Base, Nev.

Airmen who maintain the MQ-1 Predator here take great pride in ensuring the unmanned aerial vehicles they look after can keep and eagle eye on what goes on in Iraq.

The 61 Airmen of the 46th Aircraft Maintenance Unit -- and three Royal Air Force Airmen -- keep the Predators flying for the pilots who fly them from Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., and Balad.
