Whiteman AFB takes Lee Summitt family on Pilot for a Day tour
Emil “Batman” Conley, honorary B-2 pilot, Lee Summit, Missouri, controls an EOD robot on July 19, 2019, at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. EOD robots are able to roll up to an improvised explosive device and determine its size, components and other features, providing valuable intelligence to personnel. Emil has medulloblastoma, which is the most common malignant brain tumor for children, and accounts for about 20 percent of all childhood brain tumors. Whiteman AFB collaborates with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to coordinate these tours. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Thomas Barley)
