12OSS prepping Airman for the extreme
502nd Air Base Wing

Flying at 50,000 feet, our Airmen face countless stressors affecting their ability in the skies. Aerospace Physiology technicians with the 12th Operations Support Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas are responsible for priming pilots and aircrews with the essential skills they need to prevent/handle in-flight emergencies. Using their expertise in human factors, analytics, and performance, in addition to the technical knowledge of oxygen systems and high-altitude simulators, these Airmen prepare our flyers for the most extreme circumstances through classroom and hands-on instruction. Optimizing our forces in the sky, Aerospace Physiology Technicians work tirelessly to ensure the health and safety of our flying Airmen. (U.S.Air Force video by Sarayuth Pinthong)
