COLUMBUS AFB, Miss. - Fifteen student from the Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training Class 21-04 officially graduated Jan. 19, and earned their pilot wings, on board Columbus Air Force Base. Student pilots go through a 52-week training program, operating trainer aircraft such as the T-6 Texan II, before claiming the title of U.S. Air Force pilot. These pilots were accompanied on graduation by guest speaker Col. James Akers, 1st Operations Group commander at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va. Akers offered words of wisdom to the graduates, and then gave a base-wide treat with an F-22 Raptor Airpower Demo show. (Source: Columbus AFB 01/19/21)
