    A U.S. Air Force RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is shown on an airfield tarmac being handled by ground crew personnel. The large high-altitude reconnaissance drone is being towed or positioned by a military ground support vehicle. The setting appears to be a military air base, likely in Europe based on the surrounding infrastructure.

    A RQ-4 Global Hawk from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam is towed down the taxiway at Misawa Air Base, Japan, May 24, 2014. The Global Hawk is on a temporary rotation to Japan, in part, as a result of the adverse impact of inclement summer weather on intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions operations in Guam. Given the number of sorties lost due to typhoons and thunderstorms, the need to look for alternate summer basing options arose. Misawa AB was chosen as an ideal location for the Global Hawk, its equipment and personnel. (U.S. Air Force Photo/ Staff Sgt. Tong Duong)
