F-35 water survival instructor keeps training afloat

Lt. Col. Ben Aronhime, 56th Training Squadron pilot, positions himself on a forest penetrator, a rescue device used in water rescues, during water survival class on Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., Oct. 31, 2014. Pilots attending F-35 water survival training are placed in simulated scenarios to provide them with the knowledge they need if they were to eject over water. The 33rd Operations Support Squadron F-35 Lightning II aircrew flight equipment shop incorporated some training elements from previous water survival training programs and developed training tools and techniques to account for the new equipment unique to the F-35 program.
