Such is a day in the life of a crew member of VQ-1. The "World Watchers," after all, are no strangers to combat. Stationed at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, VQ-1 has maintained a permanent presence in the Arabian Gulf since 1992, following Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

In those conflicts, the squadron amassed an impressive 1,400 combat flight hours with a 100 percent mission completion rate. Missions ranged from strike support to combat search and rescue, to communications and over-the-horizon targeting.

The WORLD is WATCHING.
