    From left, U.S. Air Force Maj. Andrew Crawford, instructor, and U.S. Air Force Maj. Garrett Mazachek, student, both of 559th Flying Training Squadron, perform pre-flight checks at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas Sep. 10, 2024. The 559th FTS flies over 16,000 hours annually in a fleet of 38 T-6A Texan II aircraft, focusing on basic pilot qualifications and the specialized training of instructor pilots. These instructor pilots play a pivotal role in mentoring and preparing future aviators, ensuring the continued excellence of U.S. and allied air forces. By qualifying over 200 pilots each year, including instructor pilots, the 559th FTS directly contributes to maintaining a robust and capable pilot training system, vital for national security and global operations.
