Zachary Hansen from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Combat Readiness Directorate’s Human Systems Division interacts with high school student leaders ... describing various aircrew flight equipment components needed to fly fighter aircraft ... during the Air Education and Training Command’s AETC All Star Leadership Day at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

Throughout the day, students engaged directly with uniformed and civilian Airmen and Guardians from a wide range of career fields, hearing personal stories about service, resilience, and professional growth. These conversations help students connect their existing leadership roles in school and community organizations to potential futures in the Air Force, Air National Guard, or Space Force.
