Pilot for a day

Thirteen-year-old Wyatt Maurer, asks a question to Capt. Chad Rogers, 303rd Fighter Squadron A-10 pilot, while at the controls of the squadron's A-10 Thunderbolt II simulator during his "pilot for a day" experience at the 303rd Jan. 11. Not only was Wyatt treated to a simulator "ride" but also received a tour of an actual A-10 and a day in the life of an A-10 pilot. The visit was made possible by the Greater Kansas City chapter of the Dream Factory, which arranges special memories for children with serious or chronic medical conditions. The 303rd is part of the 442nd Fighter Wing, an Air Force Reserve Command unit based at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. David Kurle)
