    Two military personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are seated and using virtual reality headsets, holding VR controllers. Both individuals are adjusting or wearing their VR headsets simultaneously, suggesting a training or demonstration session. A third uniformed individual is partially visible on the right edge of the frame.

    U.S. Air Force Senior Airmen Elisha Ermis and David-Anthony North, 433rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chiefs, don virtual reality headsets in preparation for training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, Aug. 10, 2026. The 433rd Maintenance Group is leveraging VR technology to run its Maintenance Qualification Training Program, allowing maintainers to hone their skills in a digital space while reducing costs and demands on the C-5M Super Galaxy fleet.

    Two military personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are seated and using virtual reality headsets, holding VR controllers. Both individuals are adjusting or wearing their VR headsets simultaneously, suggesting a training or demonstration session. A third uniformed individual is partially visible on the right edge of the frame.
    Military personnel in U.S. Air Force OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are participating in a virtual reality training session. Several airmen are seated wearing VR headsets and holding motion controllers, while one standing individual appears to be an instructor assisting or supervising the trainees. Multiple monitors in the background display VR simulation feeds, including what appears to be aircraft-related training content.
    A U.S. Air Force Airman named Mitchell is using a VR headset (HTC Vive) and hand controllers to participate in a virtual training simulation. The monitor behind them displays a C-5M Aircraft Egress training module, showing a U.S. Air Force aircraft exterior. The simulation is at 4% completion with a timer reading 00:00:37.
    A U.S. Air Force service member named Mitchell is wearing an HTC Vive Pro VR headset, appearing to engage in a virtual reality training simulation. Behind them, an ASUS monitor displays what appears to be a cockpit or aircraft interior simulation environment. The setting appears to be a military training facility equipped with VR technology.
    Three military personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are seated and using virtual reality headsets in what appears to be a VR training facility. They are holding VR controllers and wearing HTC Vive-style headsets while multiple monitors on the wall display their virtual environments. This appears to be a military simulation or training exercise using immersive VR technology.
    Four military personnel in camouflage uniforms are seated in a row using VR headsets and handheld controllers in what appears to be a dedicated virtual reality training facility. Multiple monitors mounted on the wall display the VR simulation content being experienced by each trainee. The screen text visible on monitors references 'C-5M Aircraft Egress,' indicating this is likely an aircraft emergency egress training simulation.
    Two U.S. Air Force personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are examining a computer workstation displaying what appears to be a large military transport aircraft (likely a C-17 or C-5) on screen. One airman is operating a keyboard and mouse while the other holds what appears to be a VR headset or controller, suggesting they are engaged in a virtual reality or simulation training environment. The setting appears to be an indoor training or technology demonstration room.
    A U.S. Air Force airman wearing an HTC Vive VR headset is seated and engaged in a virtual reality training simulation. The airman, identified by name tape as 'Solano DeLuna' with a Senior Airman rank insignia, holds two VR controllers while a monitor behind displays the simulation screen labeled 'C-5M Aircraft Egress.' This appears to be a military training exercise using immersive VR technology.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are seated in a semicircular arrangement in a dedicated VR training room, all wearing virtual reality headsets and holding VR controllers. The room is equipped with multiple monitor stations along the walls and a central display screen showing 'Virtual Hangar' software, suggesting aircraft maintenance or aviation training. This appears to be a formal military VR simulation training session.
