Lt. Col. Rob Weaver, director of operations of the 4th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron and an MC-12W Liberty pilot, briefs a departing MC-12W aircrew prior to "stepping" to their aircraft for a mission, Feb. 27, at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. The four-person MC-12 aircrews fly the aircraft, a modified King Air 350 commercial plane, designed to augment information gathered by other intelligence-collection capabilities operating in theater, by providing real-time full-motion video and signals information to help military leaders make battlefield decisions.
