EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Eric Litton, F-35 Academic Training Center instructor, explains the phases of maintenance training to Gunnery Sgt. Trey Coon, 33rd Maintenance Group quality assurance NCO in charge, during the 33rd Fighter Wing's open house for members May 27. The sergeant and his wife, Rebecca, had an opportunity to look at the virtual classroom set up for F-35 maintainers. Mr. Litton said academics are step one before entering the classroom to conduct maintenance tasks using an avatar on screen with an electronic work order. According to the current syllabus, hands-on training will begin in simulators and on the flight line after tasks are perfected in cyberspace. (U.S. Air Force photo/Chrissy Cuttita)
