Air Force Special Operations Combat Control Team members ride desert dirt bikes alongside stunt performer Devin Blackwell during a film shoot May 17, 2012 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. The stunt performer helped the CCT members apply their versatile driving skills, which enable them to adapt on-the-fly to unknown situations during deployments to austere locations worldwide, into a visually exciting scene that will be incorporated into a recruiting simulator ride. The simulator will help the Air Force Recruiting Service explain the Air Force mission to the public through personal experience. (U.S. Air Force photo by Benjamin Newell, Released)
