    Two military personnel in olive drab flight suits are using VR headsets (appearing to be HTC Vive Pro models) while holding motion controllers at a desk workstation. Both individuals are wearing face masks, suggesting this was taken during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The setting appears to be an indoor training facility or classroom environment.

    U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. Martin Sipe, an F-15C student pilot, flies the F-15 Eagle in virtual reality alongside 173rd Fighter Wing F-15 instructor pilot Lt. Col. Julius Romasanta, at Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, Oregon, Oct. 12, 2021. The program serves to enhance “chair flying”, which is where students visualize their missions in their mind’s eye, providing real images of the missions they will fly during their tenure at the B-Course.
