Lt. Simon Kraemer, left, 80th Flying Training Wing student pilot, simulates a flight while fellow student pilot Lt. Espen Iversen follows a checklist at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, Aug. 29, 2018. Before even getting into a real jet, the pilots in training must go through about seven or more simulation courses. The 80th uses different simulators, each one getting more advanced than the last, all to get the pilot ready and comfortable before even taking to the skies.
