Col. Andrea Themely (left), 80th Flying Training Wing commander, talks to Lt. Col. Jason Colborn Dec. 20, 2017, about the opportunity he will have as the first detachment commander of a new unit called Pilot Training Next. The initiative, led by Air Education and Training Command Commander Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast, will rely on different technologies to make a more efficient pathway for the Air Force to train and create pilots. Colborn was hand-picked for the position and will soon take leadership of the Austin, Texas-based detachment. (U.S. Air Force photo by John Ingle)
