An Iraqi Air Force AC-208 Cessna Caravan aircrew launches

An Iraqi Air Force AC-208 Cessna Caravan aircrew launches a hellfire missile at a target on the Aziziyah Training Range, south of Baghdad, Nov. 8, 2010. The Iraqi airmen scored a direct-hit, destroying the target in their second-ever launch of a hellfire missile. Iraqi airmen have trained continuously for the hellfire mission, mastering the weapons load, target attack and airmanship skills necessary to maintain proficiency since completing their first hellfire launch in 2009, also resulting in a direct hit of a training target.
