C-17 flight takes on-the-job training to the skies

  • Published
Senior Airmen Ginnette Lykins (left) and Elyse Detling, both medical technicians assigned to the 445th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron here, listen intently as they receive instructions after securing a simulated patient to a litter during a training flight on board a C-17 Globemaster III Nov. 17, 2011. The "volunteer" heart attack victim was James Chappel, a member of the Air Force Materiel Command Community Liaison Program, representing Tinker AFB, Okla. Twenty-one members of the group flew on the C-17 to experience first-hand how members of the squadron train for real-world missions.
