From the left, Tech. Sgt. Jaime LaPorte, Tech. Sgt. Abimael Santiago-Soto, and Staff Sgt. Alex Delamarter, all 9th Airlift Squadron flight engineers, discuss in-flight procedures aboard a C-5M Super Galaxy on a training flight over California, June 5, 2021. During a Major Command Service Tail Trainer, pilots and flight engineers were able to fly over the West Coast using visual flight rules. This requires crew members to use ground references to fly, exercising different skill sets not often used in day-to-day operations.
