Cannon behind the scenes: warriors of weather
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Phillip Tori, 27th Special Operations Support Squadron weather forecaster, stands on the flightline prepared to launch a weather balloon at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M., May 9, 2012. Troops with the weather flight at Cannon deal largely with resource protection and are able to track any weather systems that directly impact the base or personnel.
