Kirtland Air Force locked and loaded with new aerial gunnery

Roughly a 20-minute drive on Kirtland Air Force Base leads to a small, two-story storage unit tucked within the mountains. It's the first ever aerial gunnery live-fire training facility, overseen by the 58th Special Operation Wing.

Developed in collaboration with BeaverFit USA, Gulfstream Steel & Supply and Dragonfly Energy, the $615,000 solar-powered gunnery is a full replica of aircraft electrical systems, enabling comprehensive live-fire weapons training.

The gunnery is part of a building block plan to get airmen into helicopters with as much training as possible, said Master Sgt. Garrett Clark.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
