AWACS - A Team Effort


There is an interesting feature story on the key members of an USAF AWACS crew at the link below. The story is built around the deployment of the 964th Expeditionary Airborne Air Control Squadron to the Manta Forward Operating Location in Ecuador in support of counter narco operations. You can read the story at http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?storyID=123035975
