A C-17 Globemaster II fuselage began its journey from the 502nd Trainer Development Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph June 23, 2015. Since its arrival via flatbed truck in 2011, the fuselage was transformed into the Air Force’s first fully functioning aeromedical evacuation trainer. The C-17 will be used to train more than 1,300 flight nurses, aeromedical technicians, critical care physicians, intensive care nurses, respiratory nurses and flight surgeons annually at the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The fuselage is the last piece to be delivered and its trek will take about 10 days and then reassembly begins.
