New Glider
Lt. Col. Jason Schott, 445th Flight Test Squadron commander and Test Operations Combined Test Force director, makes final checks before taking off in a TG-16A glider. The Air Force Academy purchased 19 new gliders this month to replace its aging fleet. The 445th FLTS tested one of the gliders to ensure it meets the needs of the academy.
