From left, 1st Lt. Ryan Tucker and Capt. Tony Vitellaro, 80th Flying Training Wing student pilots, are tested by Amy "Jaws" Young, T-6 Texan II simulator instructor, at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, Aug. 29, 2018. Young is teaching an academic course in the sim because it is much more benficial for the pilots to get a hands-on look of the flight deck's switches instead of just looking at a graph or a book. This is the first sim the pilots will be using and as time goes on eventually get into their first aircraft sortie after seven or more other sims.
