AES trains at 20,000 feet
Airman 1st Class Nathan Boyer listens to instructions as the 932nd Airlift Wing’s Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron flew aboard a busy medical training flight on Sept. 23, 2017. They flew as a team in a C-17 aircraft, provided by the 512th Airlift Wing from Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. After taking off from Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, the crew talked about situations and read through the Air Force Instructions covering medical issues. The C-17 Globemaster III plane has a maximum payload capacity of 170,900 pounds and its maximum gross takeoff weight is 585,000 pounds. The aeromedical training featured interaction and communication between three reserve wings, including the 932nd AW, the 512th AW and the 911th Airlift Wing with AES crew members out of Pittsburgh.(U.S. Air Force photo by Lt.
