Senior Airman Daniel Millard, fuels specialist in the 419th Logistics Readiness Squadron, refuels the F-35A Lightning II here today. During their two-week annual training, wing reservists were certified to refuel F-35s in preparation for their arrival to Hill AFB in fall 2015. "The opportunity to have this sneak peek into the refueling process of an F-35 will reduce or eliminate the learning curve for us when we get this aircraft at Hill," said Senior Airman Timothy Potter, fuels specialist in the 419th LRS. "Our experience here will make what we do safer and more efficient." Tech. Sgt. Jacob Rosser, also a fuels specialist, said the F-35 refueling process is similar to the F-16, so it's not a matter of being retrained, but becoming familiar with the aircraft. "It's cool being right on the front line and seeing the jets up close," Rosser said. "The job satisfaction comes from knowing that without fuels, pilots would be pedestrians."

Reservists from the 419th LRS transported ten truckloads -- about 400,000 pounds of cargo -- from Florida's Tyndall AFB to Eglin AFB for the 419th Fighter Wing's two-week annual training. "This annual tour was more than just training because we were providing real-world support," said Hill. "This is the first time anyone in the 419th vehicle ops has moved anything on this scale. All the equipment from all the squadrons that was needed for their training, we brought in." (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Crystal Charriere)

New Training Tactics

Master Sgt. Michelle Corlett, Tech. Sgt. Nicole Tobin, Tech. Sgt. Abbra Myers, all from the 419th Force Support Squadron, and Staff Sgt. Kristy Zimmerman, from the 96th Force Support Squadron here, review personnel folders as part of the 419th Fighter Wing's two-week annual training. "This is an opportunity for us to have specific training on assignments and relocations," said Corlett, force management chief in the 419th FSS. "It is important for us to be here because we don't have the volume of assignments and relocations that our active-duty counterparts have. This experience allows us to train extensively on what we wouldn't have been able to do otherwise." While here, the 419th FSS is also auditing the 96th FSS folders to assist the host squadron and get an in-depth look at their procedures. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Allen Stokes)

F-16 pilot Maj. Jeremy Castor and F-15 pilot Maj. Mike Douglas, both of the 85th Test Evaluation Squadron, serve as tactical controllers for air-to-air combat training missions at Eglin AFB today, which included F-16 pilots from the 419th Fighter Wing and 40th Test Squadron as well as F-15 and F-16 pilots from the 85th TES. The integrated training operations gave the pilots a chance to train together as though they were in a real-world combat scenario. Reserve 419th pilots and maintenance personnel from Hill AFB have been here for the past two weeks training alongside the 85th TES. (U.S. Air Force photo/Kari Tilton)

On Screen Tactics

Lt. Col. Surya Frickel, 419th Fighter Wing pilot, explains a training mission to a group of Utah civic leaders who traveled to Florida to learn more about the wing's annual tour training. Frickel said the screen behind him displays a real-time aerial view of the battle space with red dots showing designated “enemy” aircraft. The goal is for pilots from the 419th FW and 85th Training and Evaluation Squadron to participate in the air-to-air drill that simulates the same integrated force they could expect in a deployed environment. After their flight, pilots review the footage and evaluate tactics and performance. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Allen Stokes)
