Cruising along on the deck to test delivery systems at high speed has got to be a hoot. You can bet the loadmaster is NOT going to step on one of those rollers that close to the ramp. As a side note, that golfball on the tower in the first picture has been "destroyed" by more simulated weapons deliveries than you could count. I've "blown it up" at least 50 times myself over the years during avionics systems tests or USAF Test Pilot School training sorties.
