Staff Sgt. Travis Akerson, a special missions aviator assigned to the 37th Helicopter Squadron at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo., surveys the landscape as the aircrew flies toward the Powder River Training Complex, in western South Dakota, Dec. 7, 2017. The exercise provided Akerson and other helicopter aviators the unique opportunity to work with both the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force Joint Terminal Attack Controllers and Ellsworth B-1 bomber aircrews.
