    Warrant Officer 1 Mickey Argo (right), a UH-60 pilot with Company C, 2nd Brigade, 147th Aviation Battalion, of Boone, Iowa, and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Steve Farquhar (left), also an Iowa Army National Guard pilot with the 2-147th and a Black Hawk Aircrew Trainer instructor-operator, prepare for a “flight” in the BAT, a highly immersive, home-station flight training device for the UH-60M aircraft, located at the Camp Dodge Joint Maneuver Training Center in Johnston, Iowa. Farquhar was “copilot” with Argo during his training flight, while another instructor-operator monitored their flight from several screens close-by. Argo spent several days training on the BAT prior to leaving for flight school to get fully qualified on the new, modernized generation of the UH-60. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt.
