    A U.S. military MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is taxiing on a runway at what appears to be a military airfield. The aircraft bears 'NY' tail markings and the number '120', suggesting it belongs to the New York Air National Guard. A red-and-white radar or navigation tower is visible in the background along with support buildings and dense tree lines.

    An MQ-9 remotely piloted aircraft operated by the New York Air National Guard's 174th Attack Wing taxies back to the hanger after launching and landing on a runway at Syracuse Hancock International Airport in Syracuse, N.Y. on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2015. This was the first time a military RPA operated from an air field used by both military and civilian aircraft. Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, the home of the 174th shares the field with the commercial airport. Until now, the wing has only flown its MQ-9 Reaper aircraft from Wheeler Sack Army Airfield at Fort Drum, N.Y. ( U.S. Army National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Raymond Drumsta/ Released)
