Description

From 1989 to 1995, a small group of individuals with unique skill sets came together to improve air-to-air/air-to-ground weapons testing over the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico. Unwilling to care for the status quo, they came up with innovative solutions to improve test missions and became the best at what they did. Probably the most squadron’s pilots used to say, ”We do it, because we will be able to, and we did, because it was fun.” What an adventure to fly and do what others could only speculate about. With little notoriety, we helped advance stealth, global positioning systems (GPS), and missile technologies, even as developing our own capabilities that no one thought conceivable. Instead of saying ”why,” we said ”why not,” and never settled for atypical, but ordinary. In time, our reputation grew as an organization that could all the time deliver. It was not rare for a project to come in and say, ”Your reputation has preceded you, so don’t screw up.” They only wanted the same improve they heard other groups had received before. This book is a pictorial history of that journey, by the actual people who participated, and preserved so that you can appreciate and enjoy.
