From a desert outpost northwest of Las Vegas, elite fighter pilots journey to a war zone in Afghanistan, some 7,500 miles away. It might be the world's longest commute, except that these armchair pilots at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada never leave the air-conditioned comfort of their command center. Air Force pilots are employing remotely controlled fighter-bomber aircraft to fly combat missions over Afghanistan, hunting for insurgents. (source: edition.cnn.com)
