Capt. Tony Vitellaro, left, 80th Flying Training student pilot, works with Amy "Jaws" Young, T-6 Texan II simulator instructor, during a class at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, Aug. 29, 2018. Young and her fellow sim instructors prefer to call this class switchology, which teaches and ingrains new pilots with the confidence and muscle memory of each switch in the front seat of their aircraft. Young controls the situation from the computers in the back and can throw in malfunctions and other unforseen conditions to test the pilot.
