Lt. Col. Phillip Bourquin, 99th Flying Training Squadron director of operations, conducts a post-flight inspection of a T-7A Red Hawk at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, May 15, 2026. As one of the first Air Education and Training Command pilots to qualify on the new aircraft, Bourquin's hands-on checks are essential for ensuring the aircraft's safety and operational readiness. This thorough process is a fundamental part of the initial cadre's training, helping build expert instructor pilots for the Air Force's next-generation advanced trainer.
