Capt. Joe Schenkel (front seat), 416th Flight Test Squadron F-16 test pilot, and Greg Welsh, a 33-year veteran maintainer and maintenance manager with the 412th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, take off Edwards Runway 22L in an F-16 for Welsh’s familiarization flight that occurred Aug. 4, as part of the 412th Operations and Maintenance Immersion Program. This program is part of an initiative to give operators and maintainers the opportunity to create positive interaction so both gain insight into each other’s work dynamic.
