The fuselage of a Boeing 767 was delivered from Wilmington Air Park in Wilmington, Ohio, to the 711th Human Performance Wing’s U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine on March 3. After its three-day journey through Clinton and Greene counties, the fuselage joined the cadre of seven other fuselages, all used for aeromedical evacuation training at USAFSAM, part of the Air Force Research Laboratory. The retrofitted fuselage will be another tool for training medical professionals to deliver care to injured warfighters—in the air. These courses include Flight Nurse training, Aeromedical Evacuation Technician training, and the Critical Care Air Transport Teams training, among others. Like many projects across the Air Force Research Laboratory, the acquisition of this training device is sponsored and funded by Air Mobility Command, a strong 711 HPW partner for its aeromedical evacuation and readiness missions.
