Eight 908th Airlift Wing loadmasters and flight engineers flank Basic Special Missions Aviator Course instructor, Staff Sgt. Raymond Bourne, center, for a graduation photo April 27, 2022 at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. The purpose of the course was to convert C-130 flight engineers and loadmasters to special mission aviators in preparation for the wing’s anticipated remission from a C-130 tactical airlift unit to the new MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopter formal training unit. This was the first time the course was taught by a mobile training team from the 344th Training Squadron’s Career Enlisted Aviator Center of Excellence from Joint Base San Antonio - Lackland, Texas.
