COLUMBUS AFB, Miss. - Columbus AFB personnel were treated to a sneak peek at Boeing’s new training aircraft simulator at the Air Force Association’s Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Fla., earlier this month. The symposium is a professional development event for the Air and Space Force and focuses on the challenges of joint warfare. A technology expo that occurred in conjunction with the symposium highlighted technological innovations by defense industry partners. Boeing featured its new T-7A aircraft simulator - the eventual successor to the T-38 currently used to train student pilots. CAFB is primed to be one of the first Undergraduate Pilot Training bases to receives the T-7A. CAFB airmen that attended the expo were given a chance to experience the simulator. "This is more accurate to what the students will actually see in the cockpit,” 1st Lieutenant Justin Treinish, a T-38 instructor pilot assigned to the 50th Flying Training Squadron said. Boeing’s next stop with the simulator will be Columbus AFB during the 2022 Wings Over Columbus Airshow and STEM Expo. Attendees will have the opportunity to get hands-on with the simulator and the future of pilot training. (Source: CAFB 03/10/22)
