 A group of our brethren and sister and squadrons come together so that we can familiarize ourselves with the KC-46 in reference to its strengths, its limitations, and its abilities in reference to AE capacity. I first saw the aircraft, it almost felt like a C-17 and a KC-135 kind of combined. As far as egress goes, egress is basically learning how to open all the emergency exits and how to get out in case we have to evacuate on the ground. So the familiarization consists of going over the capabilities of the aircraft, different configurations of how many patients we could bring with litters and ambulatory, the electrical capabilities as well as the oxygen capabilities. The familiarization and scenarios how we incorporated that is doing different items like egress scenarios like ditching or crash landing that go over the different exits, different emergency fires so we knew where items were located, the aircraft emergency procedures as well as our clinical scenarios started involving the aircraft itself. One of our biggest jobs as an aeromedical evacuation technician is setting up the plane and knowing how to set it up. Especially on these types of aircraft there's a lot of thinking on your feet, sometimes there could be a comfort pallet when you weren't expecting one or an LSAS which is a big green box by the front of the cargo bay. It's actually learning about the new KC-46, it's learning how it is going to be advantageous to our mission as aeromedical evacuations, the things that it can improve and the things that are really good about it. I'm really excited for this new aircraft to be with us and I'm really excited to actually bring the knowledge that I learned from this mission to my home unit because that's what we're expecting to the future of the Air Force that eventually we're going to utilize this aircraft and our operations. Everyone gelled, everyone had great attitudes and they came together right away. It was one team one fight. Everyone was seamless integration to do a lot of great training and everyone were quick learners, they were quick studies so they were up to speed right away.
