Avionul 747-8 facut cadou lui Trump de Qatar e atât de sofisticat încât SUA plătesc 45 de milioane $ doar pe pregătirea piloților

The U.S. Air Force is investing $45.3 million in a state-of-the-art flight simulator for the Boeing 747-8i at Andrews Air Force Base. This simulator will train pilots for the 747-8 donated by Qatar and the future VC-25B presidential aircraft. Despite operating older 747 models, the significant advancements in the 747-8i's cockpit and systems necessitate specialized training. The simulator will allow crews to practice emergency scenarios safely on the ground, ensuring they are well-prepared for real-life situations. This investment marks a shift towards a permanent training capability at Andrews, reducing reliance on civilian aircraft for pilot training.
