High performance meets high altitude: Elite athletes visit LAFB

Travis Pastrana and Capt. Ethan McAllister, 87th Flying Training Squadron assistant flight commander and instructor pilot, prepare their harnesses beside a T-38C Talon at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, Dec. 4, 2024. The physical demands of pilot training mirror the conditioning required in extreme sports. High performance athletes were invited to participate in a tour of undergraduate pilot training and share their own experiences as athletes. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Keira Rossman)
