Behind the Scenes: The Making of an A-10C Pilot
From left: Capt. Sean Jones, 1st Lt. James Schmidt, Capt. Mike Dumas and 1st Lt. Dan Griffin, all pilots from the 358th Fighter Squadron, practice attaching night vision goggles to their helmets here June 9. As part of the A-10C Pilot Initial Qualification course curriculum, the pilots must learn to execute night flying missions using night vision goggles. They’ll accomplish this over the next few weeks through six hours of academic classes, five hours in the A-10 full mission trainer, also known as a simulator, and eight flights.
