Our own C-17 simulator building is taking shape. The sim we collected in pieces from the US in earlier this year. “The simulator will significantly enhance our training opportunities”, states Heavy Airlift Wing Commander Colonel Jason Mills, USAF. #aviation #airforce #military

Practice makes Perfect. Today one of our already trained air drop crews got four drops in at our local dropsite. Bulleye had a busy afternoon. #aviation #airdrop #hungary #collaboration

How military priorities and strategic airlift mission requirements have changed during the last few years was discussed when Swedish Minister for Defence Pål Jonsson and Minister for Civil Defence Carl-Oskar Bohlin visit to Pápa. @swedishmfa #airforce #military #collaboration

Every now and then Chaplain Barros - or 'Stache' - invites everyone on base for coffee. There's always a taste for everyone... #heavenly #coffee #airforce
