Robert Robeson, right, sits in the cockpit of an HC 130 with Monica Rodriguez and explains how nighttime combat missions are accomplished, at Luke Days open house at Luke Air Force Base Saturday. In order to pick up stranded soldiers where they are stationed overseas, Robeson said his crew flies low to the ground, and at high speeds and without headlights so they’re not seen by enemy forces.
