    A U.S. Air Force pilot in an olive flight suit is seated on a rotating vestibular/disorientation training chair, wearing protective goggles and blue ear protection muffs. A female U.S. Air Force airman in ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) stands nearby observing the procedure. The motion blur on the subject's arms and legs indicates the chair is actively spinning, simulating spatial disorientation conditions.

Duane Thompson, USAF School of Aerospace Medicine operational physiology technician, spins during a Graveyard Spiral, as part of the Barany chair training for airsickness management program, while Airman 1st Class Agnes Cattaneo, USAF School of Aerospace Medicine operational physiology technician stands-by inside USAFSAM classroom at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, April 26, 2017. The Barany chair is used as introductory spatial disorientation demonstrator and for rotational training as part of the airsickness management program.

    A female military service member in US Air Force ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) camouflage is conducting a training or briefing session for a group of approximately 8-10 fellow airmen. She is standing next to a multi-axis rotation device (likely a Barany chair or spatial disorientation demonstrator) and an anatomical skeleton model. The audience is seated in office chairs observing the presentation in what appears to be a training or medical facility room.
    A military instructor stands at the center of what appears to be a hypobaric (altitude) chamber or physiological training facility, addressing seated personnel wearing flight helmets and oxygen masks. The trainees, dressed in US Air Force ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) camouflage, are seated on both sides of a narrow aisle connected to oxygen supply equipment. This appears to be an altitude physiology or hypoxia awareness training session conducted by the US Air Force.
    A female military personnel in an olive flight suit is fitting or adjusting a flight helmet and oxygen mask on another service member in camouflage uniform. At least two individuals are wearing gray flight helmets with attached oxygen masks. The setting appears to be an equipment fitting or training room with charts and a monitor visible on the wall.
    A female military personnel member in an olive green flight suit is seated at a control console, holding a green headset to her ear while operating equipment. She wears a unit patch on her left shoulder, identifiable as a U.S. Air Force command patch. A second uniformed individual is visible in the background, also wearing a headset.
    Two U.S. Air Force personnel wearing ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) camouflage and headsets are seated at a control console, observing through a thick observation window into what appears to be an altitude or pressure chamber. Inside the chamber, multiple personnel in full-face oxygen masks and flight gear are visible. This appears to be a hypobaric/altitude chamber training exercise with operators monitoring from a control room.
    A U.S. Air Force personnel member in an olive green flight suit is seated at a control workstation, monitoring equipment and taking notes on a clipboard. The workstation features multiple monitors displaying technical data graphs and camera feeds, along with a control panel containing buttons and switches. A wall-mounted Sony monitor above displays a U.S. Air Force-branded object being observed via camera.
    Three military personnel in U.S. Air Force uniforms are working in what appears to be a security or surveillance control room. Multiple monitors and large wall-mounted screens display various camera feeds. The facility appears modern and well-equipped with dedicated workstations for each operator.
    Two military personnel in uniform are standing at the base of a large flight simulator inside an indoor facility. One individual wearing ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) appears to be operating a control panel, while the other in a green flight suit observes. The simulator is mounted on a large motion platform base with hydraulic actuators, consistent with a full-motion military flight simulator.
    A military service member in ACU/ABU camouflage uniform walks across a facility floor toward a large blue flight simulator mounted on a hydraulic motion base. The simulator bears U.S. Air Force unit insignia patches on its exterior. The floor is marked with yellow 'MAX LOAD 3000 LBS' warnings, indicating a controlled technical environment.
    A military pilot in an olive green flight suit is seated in what appears to be a spatial disorientation or vestibular training device, wearing blue ear protection and green goggle-style eyewear. He is giving a thumbs-up gesture while a female Air Force personnel in ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) stands beside him, also giving a thumbs-up. The setting appears to be a medical or training facility room.
