Boeing delivered the
first pair of 360-degree high-definition F-22 Raptor simulators to the Air
Force, the company
announced
on Jan. 8. "Boeing has delivered what are probably the most advanced high
definition flight simulators I have experienced, and they are going to let our
pilots realize training unlike any they’ve had before," said Col. Anthony
Genatempo, the F-22 system program director at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, in
the release. "That translates directly into mission readiness," he
added. Boeing plans to upgrade Air Force's three previously constructed F-22
Mission Training Centers with the Constant Resolution Visual System, in addition
to the recently completed fourth, and future fifth center, which is slated for
completion this summer, according to the release. F-22 MTC locations include JB
Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, JB Langley-Eustice, Va., Nellis AFB, Nev., JB
Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, and Tyndall AFB, Fla.
