1st Lt. Zachary Pruitt, 3rd Airlift Squadron pilot, and Capt. Corey Landis, 3rd AS instructor pilot, prepare to land a C-17 Globemaster III, while wearing night vision goggles, at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, Jan. 28, 2021. In combat, flying at night without artificial light minimizes visibility of the aircraft and reduces threat from potential enemies. The 3rd AS routinely trains to support global engagement through direct delivery of time-critical theater deployment assets and ensure aircrew operational readiness.
