C-17 Flight Simulator Training
Lt. Col. Gregg Johnson, 535th Airlift Squadron commander, and 1st Lt. Taylor Ragland, 535th AS pilot, receive a pre-training brief from Benjamin Slinkard, a C-17 Globemaster III pilot instructor, during a quarterly training session at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Feb. 18, 2014. Johnson and Ragland are C-17 pilots, and train extensively using a C-17 simulator, designed to give pilots a realistic feel for in-air tactical and emergency operations.
