On Thursday morning, SOCHE employees and interns took a field trip to Wright Patterson Air Force Base. We were able to tour a C-17 airplane and watch another take off for a mission. Then, we witnessed first hand how difficult pilot training can be as we got to watch a pilot train in a centrifuge. The tour ended with a meet and greet with Commander Richards. Additionally, SOCHE interns were provided with resources to find job opportunities at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
