A day in the life of an instructor pilot during COVID-19

Capt. Joshua White, 434th Flying Training Squadron X flight commander and instructor pilot, uses a paper map of the local flying area to brief a student before their flight, April 23, 2020 at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas. “Pilot training is inherently stressful as is and COVID-19 definitely adds another layer--especially on a personal level,” White said. “We all have a friend or family member who is high risk and that concern plays into students’ everyday life in pilot training.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Anne McCready)
