The New York Air National Guard's 174th Attack Wing expanded its taxi operations of the MQ-9 remotely piloted aircraft on December 6, 2014 to include all taxiways and ramps of the Syracuse International Airport. Expanding taxi operations outside the 174th ramp will better familiarize
aircrews with ground operations and local air traffic control measures at
Syracuse International Airport. The training exercised proper procedures
and communications with the FAA controllers at the Syracuse Air Traffic
Control tower. The 174th Attack Wing began its first taxi operations of the MQ-9 on August 18
earlier this year, consisting of operations on the wing's taxiway only.All flight operations of the 174th Attack Wing MQ-9 aircraft continue to be flown from Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield at Fort Drum, New York.
