Justin Howell, 700th Airlift Squadron C-130 Hercules pilot, scans the sky for danger during an air drop mission over the Nevada Testing and Training Range, Nev., during Red Flag 16-2 March 1, 2016.

The range occupies million acres of land, 5,000 square miles of airspace which is restricted from civilian air traffic over-flight and another 7,000 square miles of Military Operating Area, or MOA, which is shared with civilian aircraft.

The 12,000-square-nautical mile range provides a realistic arena for operational testing and training aircrews to improve combat readiness. A wide variety of live munitions can be employed on targets on the range. ( Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Daniel Phelps)
