Innovation flight augments pilot training through VR technology

Second Lt. Matthew Demarco, 14th Student Squadron student pilot, operates the virtual reality flight simulation equipment while Lt. Col. Christopher Harris, 41st Flying Training Squadron chief pilot and director of innovation flight, instructs him Feb. 11, 2020, on Columbus Air Force Base, Miss. In the VR simulation students can practice everything from starting up the aircraft to landing it. The ability to use VR tools extends the students familiarity with the aircraft they are going to fly before they step foot in it. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jake Jacobsen)
