“Student production has fallen behind the timeline because of COVID-19, and this trip made up for two weeks of training,” said Maj. Paul Gannett, 33rd Operations Support Squadron assistant director of operations.
The four training days saw the students clocking 136 sorties and over 170 simulation hours, with each training day averaging between 10 and 12 hours.
