Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas -- Students from Latin America attending the Inter-American Air Forces Academy toured a C-5M Super Galaxy aircraft on the flight line of the 433rd Airlift Wing Oct. 6 at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas.

Because each student has a background in logistics, the logistics portion of the tour complemented the academy’s classroom training.

“The goal is to build partnership capability through education and training,” said Master Sgt. Jorge Anchundia, 837th Training Squadron section chief. The students also had the opportunity to tour the 433rd AW’s engine and sheet metal shops as part of their tour.
