    Tech. Sgt. Shane Sweeney, 455th Air Expeditionary Wing weapons safety, fires off pyrotechnic "screamers" to ward off birds nesting in an area near the flightline as Lt. Col. Charles Wallace, 455th AEW chief of safety, watches. The seven-member team of safety experts here patrol hot spots around the airfield's flightline to minimize the threat of bird strikes on the various aircraft taking off and landing. In addition to bird hazards, the safety experts also have to monitor and control jackals that are occasionally sited in the area.
