The Reaper (and its destruction) coming to Syracuse
until we stop it

Syracuse's Hancock Air Field is the home of The Reaper drone aircraft which will be piloted from here in Syracuse for surveillance and attacks in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and potentially elsewhere. It is one of only two such sites in the US.

This is a new step in our community taking a role in the war machine. Learn more below. To get involved contact the Peace Council.
