The Reaper

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. The Reaper can carry the same bomb load as an F-16 fighter plane, but its pilots are not put in harm's way. Reaper pilots so far this year have launched 64 missiles and dropped seven 500-pound bombs in Afghanistan. (as stated on cnn.com)
