Seven officers received their pilot’s wings June 22, 2021, at Fort Rucker, Alabama, becoming the first Air Force officers to earn their wings from a helicopter-only syllabus since 1993. Helicopter Training Next (HTN) is one Air Education and Training Command initiative of the Pilot Training Transformation effort and was developed to create quality pilots, while increasing the Air Force’s overall pilot production. The HTN graduates began their training August 2020 as part of a small group tryout who went directly to Fort Rucker for TH-1 training.
