F-15 take off

Airman 1st Class Steven Eckman of the 104th Fighter Wing, Massachusetts Air National Guard assists pilot Col. Kenneth Lambrich for takeoff in the unit’s F-15 aircraft to participate in the Weapons System Evaluation Program (WSEP), known as Combat Archer, on April 20, 2011. This training is important for the ground crews to test their maintenance systems and processes while loading live munitions on the F-15 eagle, as well as critical live war fighting training for the F-15 pilots to employ air-to-air missiles against real world targets.
