U.S. Marine Corps Capt. David Hall, an F/A-18D pilot with Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 242, explains how an F/A-18 flight simulator works to local Japanese media during a media event at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Feb. 15, 2017. The media event was put together as an opportunity for local Japanese reporters to get a first-hand look at how the simulators train pilots and enhance readiness. The simulators increase safety, proficiency and allow pilots to dynamically train without placing additional mechanical stress on the aircraft leading to safer flights.
