A C-130 training simulator arrived this week at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, after the trip from Brooks City-Base in San Antonio. The simulator is part of the Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine that is relocating from Brooks to Wright-Patt as the result of BRAC 2005. School instructors use the simulator to train Air Force medical professionals on transporting and treating patients on aircraft. It will be housed in the 711th Human Performance Wing’s complex on the Wright-Patt grounds. (Wright-Patterson report by Ben Strasser)
