An MC-12 sits on the parking ramp at night. Capt. Robert Madson, a pilot with the 351st Air Refueling Squadron, spent six months flying an MC-12, used by the Air Force for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. Usually a co-pilot, Madson took on the role of the main pilot as the aircraft commander focused on the ground and reconnaissance missions. (Courtesy photo)
