Second Lt. Josh Self, a member of the 80th Flying Training Wing's Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training program class 19-05 and a native of Coppell, Texas, takes to the skies in a T-6A Texan II flight simulator at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, May 8, 2018. Self and other members of the newest undergraduate pilot training class get familiar with instruments, levers, takes offs and landings, and basic flying maneuvers in the simulator before getting in the cockpit of an actual Texan II, saving the Air Force time, money and longevity of the aircraft in the process.
